NAF Aircraft Intercepts Fleeying Oil Thieves in Rivers & Eliminates Terrorists in Munya, Nigeria

The Nigerian Air Force and other security agencies with modern technology and hardware are detecting and detering the activities of  enemies of the State. 

In Wilcourt, a riverine settlement within the creeks of Niger Delta region becoming notorious for illegal oil activities, the Air Component of Operation Delta Safe spotted and destroyed 3 Illegal Refining Sites with a total number of 7 overhead tanks concealed under thick mangrove vegetation. About 5 Km downstream, 4 boats were also seen moving southwards with suspected illegally refined products. The boats were subsequently attacked and destroyed. While another speed boat with 5 suspected oil thieves fled the area but were later arrested.

Similar successes were recorded in the Northwest following a tip-off of terrorists hibernating at Dandunu after rustling cattle from communities around the Kuchi-Kapana axis in Munya LGA of Niger State. The NAF subsequently deployed its air assets to scan the area which led to the interception of the terrorists on 9 motorcycles leading the rustled cattle.
