We Will Find You and Take You Out, Air Chief Abubakar Warns Criminals
Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, has sent a strong warning to criminal syndicates disturbing the country, including terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and insurgents, declaring that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is coming for them, and will definitely find, and take them out.
Abubakar reaffirmed NAF’s commitment to defending Nigeria’s airspace and protecting life and property across the country.
The declaration came as the Department of State Services (DSS), in collaboration with the military, killed no fewer than 45 bandits during a raid at Kuchi town, Munya Local Government Area of Niger State.
Abubakar issued the warning during the Second Quarter Route March in Abuja, on Wednesday, stressing that protection of all Nigerians is NAF’s highest priority.
He stated, “We will continue to defend every inch of our nation’s airspace and stand firm in joint operations to protect lives and property across the country. Rest assured that your protection is not just an obligation; it is our highest priority.
“To the enemies of our nation, know this: there will be no hiding place for those who threaten the peace and stability of Nigeria. We are coming for you. We will find you and take you out.”
A statement by Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said the CAS emphasised the importance of physical fitness tests in the air force. He added that physical fitness was no longer a matter of choice, but a non-negotiable requirement.
“As a matter of policy, I have directed that all Performance Evaluation Reports must be accompanied by a Physical Fitness Test Certificate. Furthermore, no personnel will be considered for promotion without being medically and physically fit,” he stressed.
The CAS further disclosed that he had approved the construction of modern sporting facilities across several NAF bases, and the procurement of advanced gym equipment for over 22 units, which would soon be distributed and installed.
Abubakar said, “Let today’s route march be a reminder of who we are and what we stand for. Let it rekindle our fighting spirit and reinforce our shared commitment to the defence of Nigeria. We are not just marching on roads; we are marching towards purpose, honour, and victory.”
