The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) through its
intensified and persistent efforts in the
ongoing fight against Boko Haram terrorists
has intercepted over 4,000 drums and jerry
cans of petroleum products and other
smuggled items.
The items, suspected to be supplies for the
insurgents’ use for Improvised Explosive
Devices (IEDs), were confiscated from the
smugglers in Pepe, Dashin-Hausa, Belel
Bilachi, and Konkul villages located along
the Nigeria-Cameroon borders on Tuesday.
The NAF was able to achieve the recent feat
through its air patrol activities, covering both
land and water along the Nigeria-Cameroon
borders.
The NAF has continued to identify and
destroy Boko Haram camps and resupplies
by employing surveillance and combat
aircraft.
Intelligence gathered also revealed that
these efforts have greatly curtailed the
supply efforts of the insurgents.
The spokesman of the Air Force, Air
Commodore Dele Alonge, urged members of
the public to continue giving useful
information to the security agencies in order
to end the menace of the Boko Haram
terrorism once and for all.
