The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has carried out multiple coordinated operations targeting hostile elements in parts of Kwara State under Operation Fansan Yamma (OPFY) Sector 3.
According to a statement issued on Monday by Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, the missions were conducted on September 28 across Kakihun, Oke-Ode, Babanla, and surrounding areas.
The air component executed reconnaissance and close air support missions to deter emerging threats, while hostile elements spotted east of Babanla were decisively engaged. Surveillance flights also covered key settlements and military positions, providing critical intelligence for ground forces.
Ejodame said the operations reaffirm NAF’s commitment to protecting both troops and civilians, maintaining air superiority, and sustaining pressure on hostile actors.
“All operations were completed successfully,” he stated, adding that the Force remains resolute in defending Nigeria’s territorial integrity and safeguarding communities against threats.
He urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and continue supporting the Armed Forces as decisive actions are taken to restore lasting peace and security across the country.
