The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has extended its aerial patrol and surveillance of the Abuja-Kaduna highway to include the railway line as part of the ongoing effort to protect lives and safeguard critical national assets within the affected areas.
The latest patroland surveillance efforts acoording to Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa, Director of Public Relations and Information, covered both railway terminus in Abuja and Kaduna and environs using NAF helicopters.
