Air Force Cuts Boko Haram Supply Routes

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.
