That's the home base of our ATR-42s, the Israeli drones and all maritime fixed wing assets of the Air Force.

That's the home base of our ATR-42s, our old replaced Fokker Maritime Aircrafts are also in that base.


For the Donier DO-228, I don't think NAF doniers are optimised to carry out ISR. Only Customs DO-228s are rigged to carry out recon.


Helicopters, MI-35s, were also based in Benin.

1. In line with our tradition to keep the public abreast with the ongoing operation in the North East of Nigeria, it is my pleasure to address you today as our troops have continued to progress in the fight against Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs). I intend to mention some of the major operations carried out with the attendant successes recorded since our last meeting. During the period under review, the following operations were conducted:

Additionally, 8 abducted persons made up of 2 adult females, 2 female teenagers and 3 male children were rescued from BHT captivity. However, one male minor sustained injury and has been treated at our medical centre. All the rescued persons are in our custody for further screening and profiling.

As a result, 10 BHT were killed and 2 others were captured alive. At the same time, 2 civilians were rescued during the operation.

The troops cleared 5 suspected BHT camps and discovered a burnt Styer Armoured Personnel Carrier, 2 vehicles and 3 motorcycles but no contact was made with the BHT. Similarly on 13 Jun 16, troops conducted a long range patrol to LAWANKINARI village which is about 16 km north east of BORGOZO. In the process, troops apprehended a suspected BHT member (Abubakar Kurimi) who has on him the sum of N24,555.00 only and a Dane gun.

2. Now, an update on Operation GAMA AIKI. The ongoing operation in Northern Borno is a joint operation between our troops and those of the Multi-national Joint Task Force (MNJTF) comprising Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon which aimed at flushing out the BHT at the far northern fringes of Borno State and the Lake Chad Basin. The operation commenced on 13 Jun 16. Since its commencement, troops have made contact with BHT on 3 occasions. Two on our side and one on the side of the Chadians. In all the 3 occasions, the BHT suffered heavy casualties both in manpower and equipment. Among the equipment captured from the BHT are 27 AK47, 3 GPMG, an LMG, 3 hand grenades and 2 RPG tubes. Since the operation started, a total of 31 BHT have been killed on our front. Unfortunately, we lost a soldier while 9 other soldiers were wounded and they are responding to treatment in our hospital. The operation is continuing. The Air Component of Operation LAFIYA DOLE is providing air support for the operation.

3. Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to use this opportunity to state that we have received reports that some personnel are in the habit of collecting money to escort civilian motorists and goods along the major routes. These allegations are currently being investigated. However, should there be any officer or soldier who is seen collecting money, please do not hesitate to report such to the Theatre Command. The military has a responsibility to Nigerians. We are here to protect and assist Nigerians according to the law of the land. In that regard, all requirements for the task to be performed are being provided. Therefore, please note that you do not have to pay for such escorts and do not be accomplices to the illegal payment. Whoever is caught doing that will face the full weight of the law either military or civilian. Also, please feel free to report such illegal activities through any of these GSM numbers: 0902-810-1021 and 0808-225-2400. Similarly for any public inquiry, the lines would be available daily between 09:00 am and 07:00 pm.

4. On this note, let me sincerely thank you for being partners in progress. I wish to also assure you that the troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE are more than ever determined to completely wipe out all terrorists from their hide out in our great country Nigeria. Our mandate is clear. We remain committed to this mandate. To the members of the public, I urge you to remain vigilant and report any suspicious movement of persons and objects to the military or to the nearest Security Agencies.

5. Thank you.

LEO IRABOR
Major General
Theatre Commander

The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadiq Abubakar, announced the planned increase on Friday during a visit by the Governor of Kaduna State, Mr Nasir El-Rufai.

Air Marshal Abubakar said the Air Force had acquired 10 helicopters and was awaiting 10 other training aircraft in a bid to enhance its operations to adequately support both the internal and external security challenges confronting the nation, in line with globally accepted standards.

Beyond the partnership, the Chief of Air Staff announced ongoing reforms in the Air Force aimed at further contributing to fighting Nigeria’s internal and external security challenges.

At the meeting, Governor El-Rufai expressed his gratitude to the Air Force for its contribution to tackling security challenges in the North-West especially in Kaduna State.

The agreement at the meeting was that Nigeria was better off when the civilian authority and the military worked together for the common good.

NAF TO DEPLOY EC 135 AND DOLPHIN HELICOPTERS IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION SHARAN DAJI


The Nigerian Air Force will soon deploy its EC 135 and Dolphin helicopters in support of the internal security operation codenamed “OPERATION SHARAN DAJI” in the northwest. The helicopters are to be used for surveillance activities to enhance intelligence gathering as part of the ongoing efforts to checkmate the challenges of armed robbery, kidnapping and cattle rustling in the northwest states including the Kaduna-Abuja road. The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar made the disclosure while receiving the Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, in his office. Air Marshal Abubakar stated that the helicopter deployment is intended to provide additional impetus for the operation, noting that the helicopters recently handed over to the NAF by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) are undergoing minor reactivation and would soon be deployed for the operation.
The Governor, earlier in his speech, had lauded the NAF for its contributions to internal security operations, particularly in Kaduna State, and the country in general. Mallam El-Rufai said he was in HQ NAF to seek for more support from the NAF towards addressing the security challenges in the State.

"Somalia: Military Court Sentenced Alshabaab Sympathizer to Death"



Somali military court has sentenced armed group Alshabaab sympathizer to death. Yussuf Hussein shot dead his boss Abdiweli Ibrahim Nur who was middle Shabelle Somali national intelligence and security agency (NISA) chief.

The accused accepted to have carried out the killing before the court. Three other colleagues who were body guards of the slain intelligence chief were sentenced to two years and six months in jail respectively. Another guard was released by the military court following insufficient evidence that he was involved in the murder of the senior security official.

It means the trainers aircrafts might not be what we are expecting too. Nigerian military is too secretive.

I guess the jf17, MI35 and Pakistani trainers are a different package altogether.

The Nigerian Army is about to place order for some helicopters too.

This helicopters we are seeing were bought by the NNPC for the Air Force. It is entirely different from the helicopters the Air Force ordered as a service.

The Trainer aircrafts are the Super-mushak, they are different from the helicopters ordered under Dasuki and different from the helos provided by the NNPC.

Those israeli drones they sold to us that never worked, can nothing be done to them make them work otlr are they beyond repiar......

Those Israeli drones are done. Nothing would come out of them. We should instead concentrate on building our Gulma drone and the CH-4.


While we buy more helicopters and Fighter jets.

are u guys following the news on d accusations leveled on COAS.

He denied it. But most of d generals up there, r involved in corrupt practices one time or the other . As average nigerians are corrupt.
But I like these type of happenings. If you r to sack corrupt people u should not forget ur past and not be involved in the present and future.

His like he has stepped on some toes and they r bitting back hard......

Did you notice dolphin helicopters where mentioned.....

Did you notice dolphin helicopters where mentioned.....

Yeah..... I noticed. I'm happy with the purchase. H-135 and the Dauphin are from the same manufacturer( Airbus), so parts won't be an issue.


The Dolphin is also a very good helicopter for the Navy, i prefer this to the A-109. It can carry 10 fully kitted VBSS personnel.

How i wish we actually did go forward with the T-129 purchase. Anyway, we are growing our fleet, that's all that matters.
