By Sadiq Aminu                                                         Nigerian Airforce says its aircraft under the air component of Operation UDO KA II yesterday carried out several airstrikes on IPOB/ESN locations at Mother Valley Orsumughu in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State and at Aku Ihube in Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State.

In a statement by Director of Public Relations and Information of NAF, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet says acting on credible intelligence that IPOB/ESN terrorists had perfected plans to disrupt civic activities lined up in the coming days in Anambra State and other states in the south east region, airstrikes were authorized in conjunction with ground troops and other security agencies on the location believed to also house some of their arms and ammunitions.

The statement explains that strikes hit the target and were deemed successful following the ball of fire, fleeing terrorists at the location as well as feedback received.

Furthermore, strikes were also conducted same day, in close co-ordination with surface forces at IPOB/ESN hideout camps in Aku Ihube in Imo State after detailed analysis of intelligence on the terrorists converging for a likely rendezvous at their hideout, and consequently, airstrikes were also authorized to strike the hideout. The targets were acquired and attacked in succession, with a high degree of success.

The statement notes that efforts by the NAF and other security agencies at ensuring all Nigerians, irrespective of where they reside, are safe and free to conduct their activities without fear or being threatened will continue.

It adds that while the determination of the security agencies is unwavering, the support of all Nigerians to the security agencies remains critical to defeating criminal elements whose only intent is to sow fear and division among the citizenry.
