The fighter pilots of the Nigerian Air Force have blocked and seized the fuel supply route of the Boko Haram insurgents along the nation’s border with Cameroon.
The Director, Air Force Information, Air Commodore Dele Alonge, said in a statement on Wednesday that the Air Force personnel intercepted 4,000 drums and jerry cans of petroleum products and other smuggled items from the insurgents.
He said the items, believed to be supplies for the insurgents, were seized from smugglers in Pepe, Dashin-Hausa, Belel Bilachi and Konkul villages located along the Nigeria-Cameroon borders on Tuesday.
He added that the Air Force was able to cut off the fuel supply routes of the insurgents through sustained air patrol activities along the Nigeria-Cameroon border.
Alonge stressed that the Air Force had continued to decimate the capacities of the Boko Haram through deployment of surveillance and combat aircraft and effective use of intelligence.
“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 BHT (Boko Haram Terrorists) camps and supplies by employing surveillance and combat aircraft. Intelligence gathered revealed that these efforts have greatly strained the supply efforts of the BHT,” he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
