‘We call on Nigerians’ Many eliminated as NAF attacks Bello Turji associate enclave in Zamfara

Fighter jets of the Nigerian Air force (NAF) have bombarded the hideout of notorious gun runner Mallam Ila at Manawa Village in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

It was gathered that the gun runner was the major supplier of sophisticated weapons to the notorious terrorist, Bello Turji in Zamfara.

“The NAF aircraft under Operation Hadarin Daji carried out the strikes on the enclave of Mallam Ilu in the evening of 18 November 2022.

“Mallam Ila remains a high value target due to his closeness and association with terrorist leaders Bello Turji and Dan Bokoyo. Their foot soldiers have also been responsible for attacks in Shinkafi general area of Zamfara State as well as parts of Kaduna, Niger, Kebbi, and Sokoto States.

“After the airstrike on the location, multiple explosions were observed with huge fireballs, indicative of other high inflammable materials hidden in the location. Scores of terrorists were eliminated during the operation,” a security operative told PRNigeria.
