Air Officer Commanding Special Operations Command, Air Vice Marshal Abubakar Abdulkadir, said Nigerian Air Force conducted 1398 sorties to counter insurgency and banditry in 2022.
The AOC made this known at the First edition of the Nigeria Airforce Bauchi Base Socio-Cultural Activities 2022 on Friday in Bauchi State.
He said NAF had, under Special Operations, flown about 1950 hours during the operations between Jan and December in the North East and North West regions to tackle banditry and insurgency. “We will continue to do that until normalcy is restored, particularly in the North West where the command also covered,” he said.
AVM Abdulkadir explained that the objective of BASA was to strengthen cultural ties and deepen unity amongst personnel and citizens. He enjoined Air Force Base communities to exploit their rich cultural diversities to strengthen the bond of love and unity for the development of communities.
