The April 14 airstrikes eliminated ISWAP leaders including Ibn Usman, Hani Abdullahi, Abakar Shuwa, Abu Jibrillah and Abu Ali.

“A mix of Nigerian Air Force and Nigerien Air Force aircraft attacked adjoining locations that served as havens of the fighters.

“The airstrikes and the operations of ground troops led to the death of scores of terrorists and many others seriously injured”, an officer told PRNigeria.

Mop-up operations were conducted on Friday by a Nigerian Army contingent under Operation Lake Sanity.
