According to Zagazola Makama, Counter Insurgency Expert on Lake-Chad, the air missions were conducted based on intelligence that revealed the presence of key leaders of Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad (JAS), including Saddiku, Umar Taraba, and Kabiru Doctor, in the area.
Makama disclosed that the strikes obliterated weapons, technical vehicles, and eight motorcycles used by the extremists.
