NAF airstrikes destroy illegal refining sites in Imo
The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, has said that the Air Component of Operation Delta Safe successfully destroyed two Illegal Refining Sites, IRS, situated along the banks of Imo River.
NAF’s director, Public Relations and Information, Edward Gabkwet, in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, said the operation was carried out on Saturday.
Mr Gabkwet said the strike was conducted barely hours after the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, had discussions with Gov. Alex Otti of Abia on plans to set up a NAF Base in the state.
He said the illegal sites were located near Obiaku and in close proximity to the Imo-Abia-Rivers borders.
According to him, the sites consist of two tanks and a reservoir in one location and three tanks and two reservoirs in another location along the Imo Riverbank.
