The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has reaffirmed its readiness to respond swiftly and decisively to rising security threats across Nigeria’s South-South region, pledging enhanced military operations against cultism, kidnapping, and illegal oil bunkering.

Air Vice Marshal Sunday Anake, Air Officer Commanding (AOC) of the NAF Mobility Command in Yenagoa, made this known during a strategic visit to the Cross River State Government House in Calabar. He emphasized that the Air Force will intensify its intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions to support ongoing and emerging security operations throughout the region.

“Our mandate is to support the zone in ensuring peace, stability, and a secure environment for economic activities to thrive,” Anake stated, noting that the visit to Calabar was not only a show of appreciation but a tactical effort to deepen synergy with state authorities in the fight against insecurity.

Highlighting NAF’s commitment to strengthening regional security collaboration, Anake said the force would focus on safeguarding key infrastructure, economic assets, and volatile coastal areas known for harboring criminal elements.

Deputy Governor of Cross River State, Peter Odey, who received the AOC, praised the growing cooperation between the military and the state government, describing it as “robust and progressive.” He lauded Governor Bassey Otu as one of Nigeria’s most security-conscious and military-friendly leaders, citing several joint operations that have cleared criminal hideouts in riverine communities.

“Cross River is building a new economy that is attracting investors and tourists. From the Bakassi Deep Seaport to the African Development Bank-backed agricultural project in Tinapa, we are laying the groundwork for major growth, and security is at the heart of it,” Odey noted.

He stressed the need for enhanced aerial surveillance in creek-laden terrains that are inaccessible to naval forces, pointing out that “there are areas by the creek that the Navy cannot access due to narrow tunnels. With your support, we believe air surveillance and possible intervention will help eliminate remaining security threats in those zones.”

Odey also pledged the state government’s backing for the upgrade of the Nigerian Air Force Primary School in Calabar, saying the administration is committed to creating a model educational environment that serves both military and civilian children.
