Buhari Orders Airforce To Fight Bandits, Kidnappers In Niger State by jaybenugo(op): 8:53pm On Jan 26, 2020
As the harmattan dust subsides, President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Air Force to be ready this week, as they are to battle bandits, kidnappers and cattle rustlers in remote communities around Dogon Gona forest in Niger State, IgbereTV reports.

The President, who described the repeated attacks leading to the losses of several lives in the communities “as a disaster for the nation,” had authorized the deployment of air power to support troops and policemen deployed to the “difficult terrain,” to counter the menace of the attackers operating in the forest area bordering Kaduna, Niger and Zamfara states.

In line with this directive, the Nigerian Air Force is setting up refueling facilities at Minna, Niger State to support the aircraft operations, giving assurances that given the improved weather conditions, a major exercise to “visually acquire targets” and launch attacks will soon follow.

The Police Command in Niger has equally given assurances that the planned dedicated air raids to complement the police helicopter gunship operations remain the best approach given the lack of motorized roads in the areas constantly under attack.

He wouldn't even merit the rank of a second lieutenant in saner climes.
