Air Chief warns coup plotters will face full force of law

Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, says any member of the Armed Forces found involved in plans to overthrow Nigeria’s democratic government will face the full wrath of the law. He spoke at a strategic meeting with Air Officers Commanding and Unit Commanders at Nigerian Air Force Headquarters in Abuja to mark his first 100 days in office.​ Aneke described recent revelations about an alleged coup plot against President Bola Tinubu’s administration as shameful, shocking and completely unacceptable. He stressed that the Nigerian Air Force remains firmly loyal to the Constitution and the democratically elected government.​ He reminded senior officers of their duty to uphold unity, cohesion and discipline within the ranks, especially as the country moves towards another election cycle. He said the military’s role is to support civil authorities and protect democratic processes without taking […]

Troops repel terrorist drone strikes, maintain battlefield edge

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have repelled terrorist drone attacks during operations along the Timbuktu Triangle in Borno State, maintaining control of the area. The operations were carried out on Sunday, January 18, with close support from the Nigerian Air Force.​ Operation Hadin Kai spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba said troops advanced from their harbour and conducted intelligence led raids on terrorist enclaves in Chilaria, Garin Faruk and Abirma. The air component provided sustained intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance over the axis.​ He explained that the strong air to ground coordination allowed real time tracking of terrorist movements and discouraged enemy reinforcement. It also improved the accuracy and confidence of ground forces during the operation.​ According to the statement, terrorists first launched an armed drone attack around midday against the advancing troops. Despite this, the soldiers kept their momentum and continued […]

NAF airstrikes kill over 40 terrorists in Borno

The Nigerian Air Force has killed more than 40 terrorists in air operations at Azir and Musarram areas of Borno State. The strikes disrupted planned attacks and supported ongoing ground operations in the North-East.​ Spokesperson for the Air Force, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said in a statement on Sunday that the missions were carried out on January 15 and 16 by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai. He explained that the operations followed actionable intelligence and close coordination with troops on the ground.​ Ejodame said aircraft were deployed to Azir in the early hours of January 16 after a distress report that troops were in contact with terrorists withdrawing from the area. Surveillance later showed the terrorists trying to regroup under nearby trees, leading to precise and repeated airstrikes that killed many of them.​ He added that a post-strike […]

NAF airstrikes hit terrorists at Abbagajiri as ground troops move into Timbuktu Triangle

The Nigerian Air Force has carried out fresh precision airstrikes on terrorist hideouts at Abbagajiri in the notorious Timbuktu Triangle area of Borno State. The operation was conducted under Operation Hadin Kai as part of wider joint efforts to weaken insurgent networks in the North East.​ According to military sources, the strikes followed reliable multi source intelligence that confirmed active terrorist presence, fortified structures and hidden logistics hubs in the area. Identified buildings used for planning attacks and storing weapons were decisively engaged and destroyed, denying the terrorists freedom of movement.​ Post strike assessments showed that several fighters were neutralised as they tried to flee or regroup after the initial bombardment. Ground troops then advanced into Abbagajiri and surrounding locations to clear remaining threats and secure the area.​ The latest action builds on earlier coordinated air operations across the Timbuktu […]

NAF airstrikes kill terrorists, destroy IED factory in Zamfara

Nigerian Air Force conducted precision airstrikes on December 28 in Zamfara's Tsafe LGA, neutralizing several terrorists and destroying an IED manufacturing facility at Turba Hill bandit hideout and Kachalla Dogo Sule's camp. Intelligence confirmed human activity and operational structures at Turba Hill, leading to a direct hit that demolished a zinc-roofed building.​ The second strike targeted the IED hub linked to attacks along Dan Sadau–Magami axis, destroying multiple structures and igniting fires that crippled production capabilities. Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame confirmed post-strike assessments showed significant degradation of terrorist networks in Zamfara State.​ These operations highlight NAF's use of multi-source intelligence for high-impact responses against bandit strongholds.​

Questions trail NAF aircraft’s onward flight to Portugal

Fresh questions have emerged over the onward journey of the Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft that made an emergency landing in Burkina Faso while heading to Portugal for maintenance. Although officials earlier said the plane and its 11 man crew had been cleared to continue their mission, there is still no clear public confirmation on when it actually departed Bobo Dioulasso for Europe.​ The aircraft was on a ferry mission to Portugal on 8 December when the crew detected a technical fault after takeoff from Lagos and carried out a precautionary landing in Bobo Dioulasso, in line with international aviation safety procedures. Burkina Faso authorities subsequently held the plane and personnel, claiming an airspace violation, which triggered a diplomatic row and heightened regional tensions.​ Following high level talks in Ouagadougou led by Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, the […]

Burkina Faso frees detained Nigerian aircraft and 11 troops

The Federal Government has confirmed the release of the Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft and 11 soldiers who were detained in Burkina Faso after a forced landing.​ The confirmation came on Wednesday night from the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, who said the aircraft and personnel had been released. He simply stated that they had been freed following diplomatic efforts.​ Their release followed a meeting in Ouagadougou between Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and Burkina Faso’s junta leader, Ibrahim Traoré. Tuggar, who led a Nigerian delegation, explained that the visit was at the request of President Bola Tinubu to resolve the incident and strengthen relations between both countries.​ The incident occurred nearly two weeks earlier when a Nigerian Air Force C-130 transport aircraft, carrying 11 soldiers, made a forced or precautionary landing in Bobo […]

FG Says Detained NAF C 130 Plane 11 Soldiers Still Not Released

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that a Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft and 11 military personnel being held in Burkina Faso remain in detention, days after the incident that led to their stoppage. The clarification follows conflicting media reports suggesting that the troops had already been freed.​ The aircraft, on a ferry mission to Portugal, reportedly developed a technical issue shortly after leaving Lagos on 8 December 2025. In line with international aviation procedures, the crew made a precautionary landing at Bobo Dioulasso airfield in Burkina Faso, identified as the nearest suitable airport.​ However, authorities under the Confederation of Sahel States, which includes Burkina Faso, treated the landing as an unauthorised entry into their airspace. The regional bloc subsequently placed its air and anti aircraft systems on high alert and ordered an investigation into the circumstances of […]

Nigeria Sahel allies clash over detained military plane and soldiers

Nigeria and the Alliance of Sahel States are giving sharply different accounts of how a Nigerian Air Force C 130 transport plane and 11 soldiers ended up detained in Burkina Faso. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Bobo Dioulasso on Monday, but the incident has now triggered a wider diplomatic dispute over alleged airspace violations.​ The Alliance of Sahel States which includes Burkina Faso Mali and Niger insists the Nigerian plane entered its airspace without permission and was forced to land. In a joint statement the bloc called the episode a serious breach of sovereignty and said its air and anti aircraft defences have been placed on high alert with orders to neutralise any further unauthorised flights.​ Nigerian authorities reject the accusation and say the C 130 crew diverted to Bobo Dioulasso only after detecting a technical fault while […]
