Banditry: Air Chief holds strategic meeting with commanders

By Mohammed Tijjani
The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has warned bandits in the country to embrace peace and surrender or be ready for the consequences.
Abubakar gave the warning during operational visit and strategic meeting with instructor pilots at NAF Base Kaduna on Wednesday.
“It’s either they stop killing innocent citizens and hand themselves over, or we deal with them in such a way that there will not be someone to kill anybody again,” he added.
The Air Chief restated his commitment to synergizing with other security agencies with a view to containing security challenges across the country.
He explained that the meeting was to appraise the level of support of the force to the war against criminal elements  in the North-West and North-Central, operational challenges and new strategies to eliminate the bandits.
The AIr Chief said the meeting would also assess the air interdiction missions that the force is conducting to soften the ground sufficiently for ground operation troops to move with little or no challenges.
He said  that the NAF would continue to support ground troops, not only in Katsina and Zamfara, but also in Kaduna and Niger States to ensure total success of the operation.
“I have been briefed of the support the Air force is giving.
I have asked them to identify challenges that need to be addressed.
