They relocated to the residence of one Alhaji Gwarzo in Yadi, Giwa Local Government Area.

The military received the information and dispatched a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) which shelled the building.

Terrorist leaders and foot soldiers under tree covers were struck with several insurgents obliterated.

NAF spokesperson, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet said the offensives in collaboration with ground forces would continue.
