The Nigerian Air Force said on Sunday that on Thursday, January 18, 2024, airstrikes carried out as part of Operation Whirl Punch effectively eliminated a well-known terrorist and kidnapping mastermind known as Janari as well as numerous members of his syndicate.

Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, Director of NAF Public Relations and Information, stated: “Janari and his crew have carried out multiple assaults and kidnappings in Kaduna State and along the Abuja-Kaduna highway.

“The strikes were authourized after Janari and his gang were sighted at a location near Gadar Katako in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State’

“Further exploitation revealed that they were massing up for a likely attack or kidnapping of vulnerable civilians, hence the need to immediately attack the location.

“Intelligence received after the strike revealed that Janari was indeed eliminated alongside several other terrorists/kidnappers.

“Similar air strikes were also carried out on 20 January 2024 on confirmed terrorists and kidnappers’ hideouts near Chukuba in Niger State with various degrees of success.

“The confirmation of the targets’ destruction of mobility and neutrizability following the strikes was another encouraging piece of feedback.

“In all areas suspected of harboring terrorists and kidnappers, the NAF and other security agencies will continue their collaborative efforts.”
