At least 160 Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād Boko Haram fighters were killed and their hidden camps destroyed following a wave of airstrikes conducted by Nigerian Air Force fighter jets in Borno and Yobe states.

The devastating airstrikes were conducted on Thursday, November 2, 2023, by the Air Component Operation Hadin Kai in two identified terrorist enclaves. The first one was around BULABULIN along the KOMADUGU-YOBE RIVER near Geidam in Yobe State.

Intelligent sources, told Zagazola Makama, a Security Analyst and a Counter-Insurgency Expert in the Lake Chad region, that the target in BULABULIN along KOMADUGU-YOBE RIVER, was established as a major hub of the Boko Haram activities from where the terrorists recently coordinated attacks on local communities of NGURO KAYAYA of Gaidam LGA which led to the killing of 16 persons and another IED attack against relatives and friends of the affected persons who went to conduct burials and mourn the deceased persons in the village.

The sources said that the Air Force detailed an airborne electro-optical system to attack the target area.

He said the air strikes were synchronized with the ground troops in the area for maximum effect, recording devastating hits on the Boko Haram hideout and killing more than 100 of their fighters, destroying two gun trucks and some structures.

The second set of airstrikes was at DEGBAWA village on the Mandara Mountains in Gwoza LGA in Borno State, where the airstrikes targeted a group of over 60 terrorists, including some of their field commanders, who were reported to be holding a meeting on how to attack some military locations around Gwoza and its environs.

On-the-ground sources revealed that about 60 terrorists loyal to the notorious terrorists’ kingpin, Ali Ngulde, were obliterated, while the few surviving terrorists scampered for safety with various degrees of wounds.

The source further revealed that the troops of Operation Hadin Kai have been charged with intensifying intelligence-led coordinated combined actions of both the ground and air forces to annihilate the terrorists and put an end to terrorism in the North East as soon as possible.

Reverend Dachomo insist “I was a notorious criminal in this village, a drug cartel… but I found Jesus”

By: Zagazola Makama

Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has again recounted his past life of crime and subsequent spiritual transformation, attributing his change to his Christian faith.

Dachomo made the disclosure during a religious gathering, where he shared his personal testimony of repentance and renewal.

“I was a notorious criminal in this village, a drug cartel in this village, a wanderer in this village. That is my testimony,” he said.

The pastor also claimed involvement in criminal activities in his earlier years.

“When I say 1980, it is our gang that robbed a bank, and the person that led that operation is my best friend,” he said.

He explained that his life took a new direction after he embrace Jesus during the robbery.

“When I submitted myself to Jesus, who is my Saviour, I allowed Him to control my life, and Jesus forgave my sin. I am a new person in Christ Jesus,” he said.

However, Dachomo has come under relentless attacks with many asking the authorities to investigate his confession and prosecuting him for his past criminality.

They accused him of infighting fire in the already existing crises between farmers and herders in the state especially when he was openly heard asking the youths to go to WAR.
