The Nigerian Air Force on Wednesday said “Human Intelligence” indicates that the wife of the leader of the Boko Haram terrorist group, Mallama Fitdasi, appeared to have been killed in recent successful airstrikes on Durwawa settlement on the outskirts of Uuga, near Konduga.
Spokesman for the Nigerian Air Force, Olatokunbo Adesanya, said Mallama Fitdasi was reported to have been representing her husband in a coordinating meeting with other terrorists at the location of the airstrikes.
Mr Adesanya, an air commodore, said the Nigerian Air Force had reported the successful aerial attack of a large number of Boko Haram terrorists at Durwawa on October 19.
“Battle Damage Assessment had indeed revealed that the aerial attack set off a fire, causing damage to the Boko Haram Terrorists 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,” he added.
