The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified its air operations against terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other criminal activities across the North-West.
This is contained in a statement on Monday in Abuja by the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame.
Ejodame said that the increased air presence in Sokoto State was to support ongoing joint security operations.
According to NAF spokesperson, the strengthened deployment is critical in tackling asymmetric threats, as terrorists and bandits often exploit difficult terrain, mobility, and concealment to evade ground forces.
