The Nigerian Air Force has announced that its
patrol and surveillance activities have succeeded in
blocking routes through which petroleum products
and other materials are supplied to the extremist
Boko Haram sect.
In a statement Wednesday, the Director Public
Relations and Information of the Nigerian Air Force,
Dele Alonge, said patrols along the Nigeria-
Cameroon borders “have greatly strained the
supply efforts of the BHT (Boko Haram terrorists)”.
Mr. Alonge, an air commodore, said, “The Nigerian
Air Force (NAF) through its intensified and
persistent efforts in the ongoing fight against Boko
Haram Terrorists (BHT) has intercepted over 4,000
drums and jerry cans of petroleum products and
other smuggled items.
“The items, suspected to be supplies meant for
BHT, were confiscated from the smugglers in Pepe,
Dashin-Hausa, Belel Bilachi, and Konkul villages
located along the Nigeria-Cameroon Borders on
Tuesday, 28 July 2015.
“The NAF was able to achieve the recent feat
through its air patrol activities, covering both land
and water, along the Nigeria-Cameroon boarders.
The NAF has continued to identify and destroy BHT
camps and resupplies by employing surveillance
and combat aircraft. Intelligence gathered revealed
that these efforts have greatly strained the supply
efforts of the BHT.”
