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.”
