The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intercepted supplies meant for Boko Haram insurgents along Nigeria-Cameroon borders.
Nigerian Air Force said last night that it seized over 4,000 drums and several plastic containers filled with petroleum products meant for the insurgents.

NAF spokesman Air Commodore Dele Alonge broke the news in a statement in Abuja.
The statement reads: “The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) through its intensified and persistent efforts in the ongoing fight against Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) has intercepted over 4,000 drums and jerry cans of petroleum products and other smuggled items.“The items, suspected to be supplies meant for Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) were confiscated from the smugglers in Pepe, Dashin-Hausa, Belel Bilachi, and Konkul villages, all located on the Nigeria-Cameroon borders on Tuesday, 28 July 2015.“The NAF was able to achieve the recent feat through its air patrol activities, covering both land and water, on the Nigeria-Cameroon borders.“The NAF has continued to identify and destroy BHT camps and resupplies by employing surveillance and combat aircraft.
