Terrorists feared killed in air raid in Niger, Kaduna

Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports

Many terrorists were killed in air strikes by Nigerian Air Force aircraft over Kurebe in Niger State’s Shiroro Local Government Area.

The meeting was said to have been organized by a Boko Haram terrorist commander named Aminu Duniya and drew a large number of sect members.

The air strikes killed many terrorists, according to a source involved in the operation who did not want his name printed because he was not directed to speak to journalists about the matter.

It was unclear whether Duniya was also killed in the operation.

“Over the weekend, NAF aircraft struck a terrorist gathering at Kurebe in Niger State’s Shiroro Local Government Area after intelligence revealed that terrorists had gathered for an important meeting hosted by Aminu Duniya, a Boko Haram terrorist commander,” the source said.

“Aminu Duniya was said to have invited the terrorists to his enclave at Kurebe for the meeting, which obviously drew a large number of terrorists on motorbikes.”

“The air strike was successful, and many terrorists were killed, though it is unclear whether Aminu Duniya was also killed in the strike.”
