The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has described the deployment of aerial surveillance and bombardment as game changers in the ongoing fight against terrorism, saying the enhanced use of air assets has significantly improved intelligence gathering, precision strikes and the disruption of terrorist activities.

This came as the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Disu, honoured 14 police officers for displaying exceptional bravery and gallantry during various operations across the country, recognising their courage, professionalism and dedication to duty in the face of grave danger.
