The Commissioner of Police (CP) in charge of the Force Airwing, Danladi Lalas, has pledged to harness all aerial assets of the force and partner with relevant authorities to secure the Nigerian airspace, the spokesman of the Force Airwing, Muhammad Sadiq, disclosed in a statement on Wednesday.

He said the CP spoke when he received the newly posted Abuja Airport Commandant of the Nigerian Air Force, U.S Maibuhu, in his office.

Mr Sadiq said the pledge was to provide efficient aerial operational support for ground troops.

He said the focus of the visit was centred on ways to solidify the existing synergy and ways to enhance efficiency in aerial security operations.

He said Mr Maibuhu had called for a close partnership and sustained synergy between the two security agencies.

Mr Sadiq said a plaque was presented to the visiting Airport Commandant as a sign of synergy between the two critical security agencies by the CP.
