The air force deployed Russian attack helicopters, Mi-17 and Mi-35, to bomb the Boko Haram terrorists, who were said to be in a meeting on Tuesday.
It was gathered that the insurgents, who still had more than 100 Chibok schoolgirls and four University of Maiduguri lecturers as captives, were spotted by the NAF Surveillance platforms in new settlements of Garin Maloma, Arra and Boboshe in Borno.
The locations were subsequently bombed by alpha jets on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya, who confirmed the strike on Shekau’s wife, said, “Human intelligence indicates that the wife of the Boko Haram terrorists’ organisation, Mallama Fitdasi, appeared to have been killed in a successful air strike on Durwawa settlement on the outskirts of Urga, near Konduga. Mallama Fitdasi was reported to be representing her husband in a coordinating meeting with other terrorists at the location of the air strikes.
“A battle damage assessment revealed that the aerial attack set off a fire, neutralising many of the terrorists.”
