The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says it has destroyed some illegal refining sites in Rivers State and also killed several “terrorists” in airstrikes in the North-East region of the country. Having observed the sites to consist of illegal refining sites, the areas were attacked and destroyed. Specifically, at Gogokori, a Cotonou boat observed to be loaded with illegal refined products and heading into open waters was also engaged and destroyed. Furthermore, he explained that “On 25 August 2023, identified militant’s/pirates’ camps in Cross River State were also attacked by the air component of OPDS. But it is calling on all “Nigerians to see themselves as part of the solution to these challenges through the provision of actional information to security agencies”.
