NAF Continues Ariel Bombardment Against Economic Saboteurs
Princess-Ekwi Ajide Abuja
Nigerian Air Force under Operation Delta Safe, has continued its air strikes against economic saboteurs and oil thieves unabated in the South-South region of Nigeria.
The airstrike yesterday destroyed two Cotonou boats sighted at Arugbana near Okrika and also destroyed an active Illegal Refining Site with equipment and reservoirs loaded with illegal products at Yellow Island near Bonny Island all in Rivers State.
On Monday, similar strikes were conducted at a location in South East of Abisse also in Rivers state.
At the location, an active illegal refining site was sighted concealed with reservoirs and a storage tank suspected to contain illegally refined products and the reservoirs and storage tanks were engaged and destroyed.
Another location in the North West of Omama was also struck as it was observed to be containing items suspected to contain stolen crude oil in objects tied in sacks.
Subsequent reconnaissance flights over Cawthorne Channel, Bille, Dariama, Okrika, Bonny Island and Idama revealed a retinue of destroyed and abandoned illegal refining site hitherto destroyed by the air component.
The sites remain inactive, an indication that the measures being employed may be yielding the expected outcome.
A statement signed by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, noted that either way, the air component of Operation Delta Safe will continue to carry out its assigned duties until the activities of saboteurs are completely halted or reduced to the barest minimum.
