In Niger, the army has announced the neutralization of several terrorists, including Ibrahim Bakoura, also known as Abou Oumaima, a key Boko Haram leader. The operation marks a major success in the country’s ongoing fight against terrorism in the Sahel region.
The military action was carried out last week in the Diffa region in northern Niger. According to the Nigerien Armed Forces, the Air Force conducted a series of targeted airstrikes on three Boko Haram faction bases.
The operation aimed to weaken the group’s operational capacity and restore security in areas affected by extremist violence. Officials say the strikes were based on intelligence gathered about terrorist activities in the region.
Security analysts view the neutralization of Abou Oumaima as a significant blow to Boko Haram’s leadership structure, offering hope for improved stability in the Diffa region.
