The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has stepped up its aerial campaigns targeting terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping across the North-West, reinforced by an expanded air presence in Sokoto State to bolster joint security efforts.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In an official update shared via its verified social media channel, the NAF stated that this strategic deployment is designed to strengthen aerial surveillance, maintain constant pressure on criminal networks, and improve the operational response time of security forces.

Given that criminal elements frequently exploit challenging terrains and mobility to evade ground troops, the deployment of rapid air assets aims to locate, disrupt, and restrict enemy movement. This approach provides ground forces with critical tactical advantages through improved air-ground coordination.

The initiative reflects the vision of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, to maintain a mission-ready and highly professional force working closely with sister services. The NAF reaffirmed its dedication to utilizing air power to protect citizens, dismantle criminal syndicates, and restore lasting stability to the region.
