The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Sunday said it has intensified its airpower campaign against terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other criminal activities across the North-West, with a strengthened air presence in Sokoto state to support ongoing joint security operations. A statement by NAF spokesperson Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, noted that the initiative reflects the Service’s determination to sustain pressure on hostile elements, enhance aerial surveillance and maintain the capacity for rapid response to emerging threats, while providing effective air support to ground forces operating within the Joint Operations Area. “The strengthened air presence is particularly significant in the fight against asymmetric threats, where terrorists and bandits exploit difficult terrain, mobility and concealment to evade ground forces. “By leveraging the reach, speed, flexibility and precision of airpower, the NAF is better positioned to support efforts to locate, disrupt and degrade hostile elements, deny them freedom of movement and action, and create greater operational opportunities for surface forces to consolidate gains on the ground,” he said Ejodame said the effort further underscores the importance of sustained air-ground coordination in confronting evolving security challenges across the region. Speaking on the development, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, said the NAF would continue to optimise the employment of airpower to deliver decisive effects in support of ongoing joint operations. He stressed that the evolving security environment requires a combination of timely intelligence, responsive airpower and seamless integration with surface forces, noting that the Service remained focused on maintaining operational readiness and ensuring that hostile elements are denied the freedom to threaten innocent communities. “Our objective is clear: to sustain the pressure on criminal elements, deny them freedom of action and create the conditions for our surface forces to dominate the operational environment. We will continue to employ airpower intelligently, professionally and decisively, in synergy with our sister Services and other security agencies, while maintaining the highest regard for the safety of civilians,” the CAS stated.
