Terrorists operating in the Zuba area of the dreaded Sambisa forest have suffered a huge loss following an airstrike by the Nigerian Air Force.

It was gathered that over 15 terrorists were killed while major infrastructure belonging the the group was destroyed in the operation by NAF on Wednesday, August 3.

In a statement issued on Thursday, NAF’s spokesperson, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame confirmed that the attack which was carefully planned and executed by NAF yielded great results.

Ejodame said, “On 3 September 2025, a carefully planned and executed air interdiction mission struck a newly identified terrorist enclave west of Zuwa in the Sambisa general area.

“Acting on credible intelligence and confirmatory surveillance, the mission targeted hideouts harbouring fighters and commanders responsible for recent hostilities around Bitta.

“The strikes proved devastating, neutralising over 15 terrorists and demolishing key structures critical to their operations,” he stated.

He also noted that following the onslaught against the terrorists by NAF, the capacity of the criminals in carrying out attacks on residents of the area and neighbouring communities have been decimated.

He further assured that NAF remains committed to intensifying the fight against terrorism with a bid to end its menace across affected areas of the country.
