Human Intelligence has indicated that the wife of Boko Haram
leader, Malama Fitdasi Shekau, appeared to have been killed in recent
successful airstrikes on Durwawa settlement on the outskirts of Urga, near
Konduga.
The Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian
Air Force Headquarters, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya, disclosed this in a
statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to Adesanya, Fitdasi was reported to have been
representing her husband in a coordinating meeting with other insurgents at the
location of the airstrikes.
He said NAF had carried out aerial attacks on large number
of insurgents at Durwawa on Oct. 19.
“Battle Damage Assessment had indeed revealed that the
aerial attack set off a fire, causing damage to the insurgents’ structures
within the settlement.
“The airstrike also succeeded in neutralising most of the
insurgents with a few of them fleeing the location,” he said.
Adesanya said further that efforts were ongoing to confirm
the reported killing of Shekau’s wife, alongside other insurgents.
