Nigeria’s military on Tuesday took the wraps off a new aircraft to tackle oil thieves high-seas pirates off the country’s coast, as well as maritime hijackers.
AFP reports that the high-tech plane is one of seven to be operated by the state-run Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the Nigerian Air Force.
It includes sensors, radar and Electro-Optic Surveillance and Tracking (EOST) equipment, which houses three cameras to monitor ships in Nigerian waters, said Sergeant Sunday Olalekan Omotosho.
