Air Chief warns coup plotters will face full force of law

Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, says any member of the Armed Forces found involved in plans to overthrow Nigeria’s democratic government will face the full wrath of the law.

NAF airstrikes hit terrorists at Abbagajiri as ground troops move into Timbuktu Triangle

The Nigerian Air Force has carried out fresh precision airstrikes on terrorist hideouts at Abbagajiri in the notorious Timbuktu Triangle area of Borno State. The operation was conducted under Operation Hadin Kai as part of wider joint efforts to weaken insurgent networks in the North East.​ According to military sources, the strikes followed reliable multi source intelligence that confirmed active terrorist presence, fortified structures and hidden logistics hubs in the area.

Questions trail NAF aircraft’s onward flight to Portugal

Fresh questions have emerged over the onward journey of the Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft that made an emergency landing in Burkina Faso while heading to Portugal for maintenance. Although officials earlier said the plane and its 11 man crew had been cleared to continue their mission, there is still no clear public confirmation on when it actually departed Bobo Dioulasso for Europe.​ The aircraft was on a ferry mission to Portugal on 8 December when the crew detected a technical fault after takeoff from Lagos and carried out a precautionary landing in Bobo Dioulasso, in line with international aviation safety procedures. Burkina Faso authorities subsequently held the plane and personnel, claiming an airspace violation, which triggered a diplomatic row and heightened regional tensions.​ Following high level talks in Ouagadougou led by Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, the […]
