The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has denied being involved in the bombing that killed many villagers at Tudun Biri village in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The Air Force through its spokesman, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, noted that the Force has not carried out any air operation in Kaduna within the last 24 hours.
Below is the full statement from the Nigerian Air Force:
THE NAF HAS NOT UNDERTAKEN ANY AIR OPERATIONS IN KADUNA STATE IN THE LAST 24 HOURS
The news making the rounds alleging that Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft accidentally killed innocent civilians in Kaduna is false. Please be informed that the NAF has not carried out any air operations within Kaduna State and environs in the last 24 hours. Also, note that the NAF is not the only organization operating combat armed drones in the North western region of Nigeria.
It is also important to ensure that due diligence is always exhausted by the media before going to press with unverified and unconfirmed reports.
Thank you.
