In a statement on Friday, Mohammed Idris, minister of information and national orientation, said the precision strike targeted two major enclaves in the Bauni forest axis of Tangaza LGA, Sokoto state.
Idris said intelligence confirmed that the locations were being used by foreign ISIS elements infiltrating Nigeria from the Sahel region, in coordination with local affiliates.
The information minister said the strikes were executed in the early hours of Friday, following the “explicit approval” of President Bola Tinubu.
Idris said there were no civilian casualties in any of the locations.
“The strikes were launched from maritime platforms domiciled in the Gulf of Guinea, after extensive intelligence gathering, operational planning, and reconnaissance,” the minister said.
