A military source confirmed to Vanguard that the airstrikes also destroyed an armoury and a building occupied by a notorius kidnapping kingpin, Ali Kwaja, who is responsible for most of the kidnappings on the Abuja-Kaduna axis.
Scores of the bandits who were thrown into disarray by the air strikes met their waterloo during the operation.
