US and Nigerian forces have killed over 20 ISIS/ISWAP fighters in multiple air strikes in Metele, Borno State.
This was made known by the Nigerian Defence Headquarters (DHQ).
Director of Defence Information at the DHQ, Samaila Uba, in a statement on Monday, disclosed that the strikes followed “observed convergence and migration of terrorist elements”.
“The ongoing operations follow the neutralisation of ISIS commander Abu-Bilal al-Minuki and are part of sustained efforts to disrupt terrorist networks, remove them from the battlefield and deny the terrorists any safe haven within Nigeria,” the statement reads.
