Bombs away and on target: Defence HQ doubles down on the U.S.-led Sokoto airstrike’s effectiveness, urging locals to report—not shelter—fleeing terrorists amid ongoing damage checks.
Maj.-Gen. Michael Onoja, Defence Media Operations Director, briefed Abuja journalists Wednesday on 2025 ops. “Intelligence confirmed terrorists in the zone pre-strike; full battle assessment drops soon—stick to Presidency/Foreign Affairs statements for now,” he said, noting cross-Sahel movements.
On Kwara’s Ofa stray explosive? “Likely human/technical glitch—no casualties, probes ongoing.” Troops ramped nationwide intel to block displaced fighters infiltrating communities. “Security’s everyone’s job—report suspicious moves fast,” Onoja stressed, cautioning against rogue vigilantes while vowing kinetic/non-kinetic ops.
