The Nigerian Air Force has announced that its patrol and surveillanc
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.”
