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 were confiscated from the smugglers in Pepe, Dashin-Hausa, Belel
Bilachi, and Konkul villages located along the Nigeria-Cameroon border.
A statement yesterday by Air Commodore Dele Alonge, Director Public
Relations and Information, said the Nigerian Air Force was able to
achieve the feat through its air patrol activities, covering both land
and water, along the Nigeria-Cameroon boarders.
It said NAF had continued to identify and destroy Boko Haram camps and resupplies by employing surveillance and combat aircraft.
“Intelligence
gathered revealed that these efforts have greatly strained the supply
efforts of the Boko Haram terrorists,” Alonge added.
