Security: Nigeria Airforce to deploy more personnel to Niger

The Nigerian Air Force said it would deploy additional personnel to its Quick Response Unit (QRU) in Minna to curtail any acts capable of breaching the peace and security of the state.

The Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadiq Abubakar, disclosed this on Wednesday when he visited Gov. Sani Bello in his office in Minna. Abubakar said that the QRU would be expanded to fully complement Operation Sharandadi that covered five states in the North-West region of the country, and Niger.

“The Quick Response Unit in Minna is to be expanded. We are bringing in more officers and men to see how we can support the state government and to see that there is peace in the state and the country.

“We are sending in Quick Response Force and that is why we are here to see the facilities on ground before we deploy more officers and men to the state.
