Gabkwet disclosed that the strikes were carried out after credible intelligence revealed the presence of a terrorist kingpin known as Boderi and his foot soldiers at the area.
He further said the air strikes were conducted on the location in the early hours of November 16, with devastating consequences on the terrorists.
He said: “Both strikes were termed very successful as several terrorists were neutralised and their motorcycles destroyed,”
“Boderi and his brother Nasiru, alongside their cohorts, have been blamed for several attacks and abductions along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway, Kaduna-Birnin Gwari Road as well as in several communities in Niger and Kaduna States.”
