 NAF INTENSIFIES INTELLIGENCE-LED AIR STRIKES AS CAS ORDERS ZERO COMPLACENCY IN BAUCHI


The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, has reaffirmed the Nigerian Air Force’s (NAF) commitment to intensifying intelligence-led air strikes and sustaining decisive operational pressure on terrorist and bandit elements during a strategic visit to Bauchi State on 29 April 2026. Addressing personnel at the Headquarters Special Operations Command (HQ SOC) and co-located units, he emphasized the need to align strategy with execution, stating that “this Command remains central to safeguarding our sovereignty and delivering decisive airpower in support of ongoing operations. We will keep our eyes open so our citizens can sleep with theirs closed.” He further directed that all missions must remain intelligence-driven, precise, and outcome-focused, stressing that “every mission must count” in defeating threats to national security.


During the visit, the CAS conducted a comprehensive inspection of operational equipment and infrastructure within the Command to assess readiness and enhance operational effectiveness. He also visited the Emir of Bauchi, His Royal Highness, Alhaji (Dr) Rilwanu Sulaiman Adamu, CFR, where he emphasised the importance of community trust, noting that “winning the trust of the people remains essential to achieving sustainable security outcomes,” a position the Emir endorsed while commending the Air Force’s contributions to peace and stability.


Air Marshal Aneke further highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance operational capability through modern platforms, advanced intelligence systems, and continuous training. He maintained that operational readiness remains non-negotiable and warned that complacency will not be tolerated, urging commanders to lead with discipline and accountability. The CAS also assured personnel of continued improvements in welfare and infrastructure, underscoring that investments in training, equipment, and living conditions remain central to sustaining mission effectiveness. The Air Officer Commanding Special Operations Command, Air Vice Marshal Ahmed Idris, affirmed that “the Command remains fully aligned with the CAS’ directives and is sustaining high operational tempo to deliver decisive airpower effects.”
