Nigerian military kills notorious terrorist, followers in air strikes – NAF

A notorious terrorist responsible for several kidnappings and killings along the Abuja-Kaduna Road and in several communities in Kaduna, Niger, Katsina and Zamfara has been killed in an air strike, an official announced Sunday morning.

Edward Gabkwet, the spokesperson of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), said Yellow Jambros and over a dozen of his followers were killed while boarding a boat to cross the Jikudna River in Galadima Kogo District, heading towards the Wurukuvhi axis of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna.

Mr Gabkwet, an air commodore, said the terrorists must have thought the military would suspend air raids following the unfortunate incident in Kaduna last week when a military air strike killed scores of Muslim worshippers at an Islamic gathering.
