The Nigerian Air Force launched deadly strikes in the northeastern state of Borno that killed at least 100 suspected terrorists on Friday.
Nigerian Air Force spokesperson Edward Gabkwet said there were indications that Abu Asad, a key leader of Boko Haram terrorist group, was among those killed during the attack, adding that the suspected terrorists had gathered for a meeting, or to “prepare a major attack on Nigeria’s troops.”
In Nigeria’s northwestern state of Zamfara, gunmen abducted at least 150 people, including women and children, Reuters news agency reported on Saturday, quoting residents of four villages.
