The Chief of Staff says Nigeria will acquire more fighter helicopters in February.

The federal government has taken delivery of two fighter helicopters to boost the ongoing fight against insurgency and banditry in the country.

“For the Nigerian Air Force, two helicopter gunships arrived on January 15 and we are now in the process of putting them together to add to whatever we have already. Mr Abubakar said Nigeria is collaborating with its neighbours to completely end the Boko Haram insurgency. He said: “Our appeal is for all Nigerians and other stakeholders, local and state governments, to join hands with the Armed Forces of Nigeria to ensure that our country is secured rather than looking at other methods that are likely going to negate the national community policing policy that the federal government has approved.”

“What we want to do is to reassure Nigerians that the Armed Forces and indeed other intelligence and security agencies in Nigeria are going to continue to work round the clock to ensure that our country is secured.“We are going to keep a very close watch on what is going on and with the equipment that we are getting.
