The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, has directed air component commanders across all ongoing military operations in the country to intensify air strikes against terrorists and criminal elements thr+atening Nigeria’s security.
Aneke gave the order during a high-level strategic meeting with commanders from all operational theatres at the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Headquarters in Abuja.
According to a statement by the NAF, the meeting, held under the directive of the new leadership, focused on enhancing precision air operations and delivering smarter, harder, and more decisive strikes in support of joint military efforts nationwide.
“We must fly smarter and strike harder; every mission must reflect professionalism, purpose, and patriotism,” Aneke told the commanders, emphasising the importance of agility, precision, and intelligence-driven warfare.
He underscored the need for closer coordination of intelligence-led air, land, and maritime operations to ensure mission success, adding that the Air Force would continue to work closely with sister services and security agencies.
While reaffirming his commitment to personnel welfare, innovation, and continuous training, Aneke pledged to provide NAF personnel with the tools and skills necessary to achieve mission success.
He also reiterated the force’s dedication to supporting the government’s vision of peace and security while maintaining international standards of discipline and accountability.
The CAS’s directive comes amid international attention following U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments on insecurity in Nigeria.
Trump had accused the Nigerian government of failing to stop the “mass slaughter” of Christians and threatened military intervention if the violence continued.
The Federal Government, however, dismissed Trump’s remarks and urged Washington to approach Nigeria’s security situation with understanding.
