Ali Dogo, a known bandit commander in Kaduna State, and 30 of his foot men were killed in an airstrike over the weekend by Nigerian military.
Dogo, also known as Yellow, and his gang members were neutralized by airstrikes carried out by the Air Component of Operation, according to a reliable military source.
While confirming the bombardment of Yellow and his fighters, the source stated that the notorious bandit leader and his men had fled from Niger State to one Alhaji Gwarzo’s house at Yadi in Giwa Local Government Area for safety after NAF aircraft had recently sustained bombardments on his location in Niger.
Separate bombardments targeting terrorists were also carried out on the same day at a position 33 meters northwest of Mando in Kaduna.
Confirming the effective bombardment, Nigerian Air Force Spokesperson Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet stated that the Nigerian Air Force will continue to strike non-state entities in the Northwest.
