The
Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says the wife of the leader of the Boko-Haram
terrorist group Abubakar Shekau’s wife, Mallama Fitdasi, may have been
killed during its air strike on Duruwa village. Doruwa is located on the
outskirts of URGA, near Konduga in Borno state.
NAF says the wife of the dreaded
terrorists leader was said to be representing her husband in a meeting
with other terrorists members at the location when the fighter jets
struck.
Director, Public Relations and
Information, Air Commodore Olatokumbo Adesanya, who made this known in a
statement, however, said the NAF has intensified efforts to confirm the
reported killing of Shekau’s wife, alongside other Boko Haram
terrorists members.
Adesanya, in the statement, said: “Human
intelligence indicates that the wife of the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT)
organization, Mallama Fitdasi, appeared to have been killed in recent
successful airstrikes on Durwawa settlement on the outskirts of URGA,
near Konduga.
“Mallama Fitdasi was reported to have
been representing her husband in a coordinating meeting with other
terrorists at the location of the air strikes.
“It is recalled that the Nigerian Air
Force (NAF) had reported the successful aerial attack of a large number
of BHTs at Durwawa on October 19, 2017. Battle damage assessment had
indeed revealed that the aerial attack set off a fire, causing damage to
the BHT structures within the settlement and neutralized most of the
BHTs with a few of them fleeing the location.
“Efforts are ongoing to confirm the reported killing of Shekau’s wife, alongside other BHTs.
