The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has carried out air strikes on fleeing plotters of a failed coup in Benin Republic.
According to Zagazola Makama, a publication focused on the Lake Chad region, multiple air strikes were executed by the air force, targeting the mutineers attempting to escape Cotonou in armoured vehicles.
The publication said the air strikes, carried out for over 30 minutes, involved multiple coordinated strikes by Nigerian fighter jets operating within Beninese airspace.
“The operation was meticulously planned and executed. Our objectives were clear: neutralise fleeing hostile elements, prevent regrouping, and restore stability in coordination with regional partners,” Zagazola Makama quoted a source as saying.
