Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF Headquarters, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet in a statement in Abuja, said following intelligence on terrorists movements along the Kamadougou Yobe River line, an aircraft from the Air Component of ‘Operation Hadin Kai’ was detailed to respond to the suspected insurgents activities in the area along the Nigeria/Niger republic border.
The Spokesman explained that the aircraft while operating South of Kanama observed suspicious movement consistent with the insurgents behaviour whenever a Jet aircraft is overhead. Accordingly, the pilot fired some probing shots. It is important to state that the area is well known for continuous terrorist’s activities.
