Information received from very reliable sources had revealed that Ali Kachalla had attacked a detachment of security operatives deployed at Mangoro community in Munya LGA of Niger State.
When alerted, aircraft of the Nigerian Air Force under Operation Whirl Punch swiftly responded to support the troops in distress.
Overhead the location, Kachalla and his foot soldiers were sighted withdrawing from the operatives location on 11 motorcycles, but unknown to them, they were being trailed to their hideout near Kopa Hills where they took cover under a thick tree covering.
It was at this point that the air strikes were authorised, which were decisive and swift, thereby ensuring effective and maximum damage on the terrorists.
Our sources around the location, as well as locals around the vicinity revealed that several of the terrorists including the terrorists Kingpin Ali Kachalla, were eliminated as a result of the strike.
The news of Kachalla’s demise has already led to jubilation in Mangoro and surroundings with many locals praying for the same outcome on Dogo Gidei, whose notorious activities has continued to inflict unimaginable injuries on their well being and livelihoods.
When contacted, the NAF spokesperson, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, refused to commit to any statement regarding the strike, noting that he was yet to receive any brief about the air strike.
This strike comes barely 24 hours after the NAF confirmed the elimination of another deadly terrorist kingpin, Yellow Jambros.
Should this momentum continue, perhaps the reign of these terrorists and the foot soldiers may be coming to an end sooner rather than later.
