NAF Foils Boko Haram’s Eid Disruption Plans with Targeted Air Attacks

On June 5 and 6, 2025, the Nigerian Air Force launched a series of precise airstrikes under Operation Hadin Kai, targeting Boko Haram hideouts at Tumbumma Baba and Chiralia in the Southern Tumbuns area of Borno State. Utilizing credible intelligence, NAF fighter jets zeroed in on terrorist facilities used for storage and operational coordination.

Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, stated that the strikes dealt direct, crippling blows to the militants, effectively halting planned attacks designed to disrupt Eid festivities. Subsequent Battle Damage Assessments confirmed the destruction of key logistics hubs and the neutralisation of several terrorists.

This pre-emptive strike underscores the Nigerian Air Force’s steadfast commitment to protecting civilian lives and advancing national security objectives across the region.
