Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has
deployed additional air assets, including Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms, to the Northeast in a renewed effort at
locating the missing Dapchi girls.
Air Vice Marshal Olatokunbo
Adesanya, Director of Public Relations and Information disclosed this in a
statement on Sunday.
It recalled that NAF had deployed
some ISR platforms and helicopters to search for and possibly locate the
missing girls after news of their abduction broke.
“Although these search operations
were conducted in a covert manner, for obvious reasons, the efforts did not
yield the desired results”, the statement said.
“Accordingly, the Chief of the
Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, directed the immediate
deployment of additional air assets and NAF personnel to the Northeast with the
sole mission of conducting day and night searches for the missing girls.
“It is noteworthy that the
renewed efforts at locating the girls are being conducted in close liaison with
other surface security forces.
“While the NAF will spare no
efforts at possibly locating the girls via its air operations, it also seizes
this opportunity to call on anyone, especially the locals, who might have any
information that could lead to the location of the girls to bring such
information forward to NAF authorities or other relevant security agencies.
“Kindly note that the following
telephone numbers are open for any member of the public having information that
could help the NAF in its task regarding the missing girls (+2348122557720,
+2348035733438, +2348172843484, +2348058419128)”.
