Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State has commended the Nigerian Air Force for its gallantry in the ongoing war against terrorists in Niger State.

In a statement made available to News Dot Africa Governor Sani Bello said his administration is not taking for granted the cheering news being received on the war.

He restated his commitment and continued support to all the security agencies to ensure the insecurity in the state becomes a thing of the past.

Recall that recently, the Air component of Operation Thunder Strike and Operation Gama Aiki carried out Airstrikes on terrorists that were sighted in Ghana community in Mariga Local Government Area of the state.

It was reported that the terrorists who were under surveillance were also observed to be in three different groups and on motorcycles.

While the Airstrikes killed no fewer than 80 terrorists and destroyed their equipment, the ground troops neutralised some who survived the Airstrikes.
