PHOTOS: Nigerian Airforce Cut-Off Boko Haram Routes, Seized Over 4,000 Drums of Petroleum

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 the Boko Haram Terrorists, were seized from the smugglers in Pepe, Dashin-Hausa, Belel Bilachi, and Konkul villages located along the Nigeria-Cameroon Borders on Tuesday, 28 July 2015.

The Nigerian Airforce Force was able to achieve the recent feat through its air patrol activities, covering both land and water, along the Nigeria-Cameroon boarders. The Nigerian Air Force has continued to identify and destroy Boko Haram Terrorist camps and resupplies by employing surveillance and combat aircraft. Intelligence gathered revealed that these efforts have greatly strained the supply efforts of the Boko Haram Terrorists.
