Daramola said that to this effect, the NAF had been conducting aerial patrols to monitor traffic and other activities along some critical highways in the country.

“As part of efforts to support other security agencies in ensuring safety and security of commuters during the Yuletide, the NAF has been conducting aerial patrols to monitor traffic and other activities along some critical highways in the country.

“The patrols, which are being conducted in conjunction with the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC), began on Dec.23, with a NAF EC-135 helicopter conducting surveillance along the Abuja-Lokoja expressway.

“On Dec. 24, aerial patrols were also conducted along the Lagos-Shagamu-Ore Road alongside personnel from the Lagos State Sector of the FRSC.
