Model of a robot

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commenced the process of developing a robot for the detonation of high caliber bombs and other explosives from far distances

The NAF authorities said the development was part of challenges triggered by the recent security problems especially in the northern part of the country which has had to contend with terrorist attacks for several months.

His words: “We all know that human beings have always gone to detonate bombs and in view of the danger involved, anything can happen. It’s because of this that we decided to go into research and the development of the bomb detonation robot. Research goes on and on. When we get to the time when we feel the public should know, we will show you (public)”.
