Contrary to circulating reports, the claim of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft inadvertently causing harm to civilians in Kaduna is unfounded. Officially stated is the fact that the NAF has not conducted any air operations within Kaduna State and its surroundings in the last 24 hours.
Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet the Air Force Spokesman disclosed this to Defence Correspondents on Monday
Furthermore, it should be emphasized that the NAF is not the exclusive entity employing combat armed drones in the North-western region of Nigeria.
A crucial reminder is extended to the media regarding the importance of exercising due diligence before disseminating unverified and unconfirmed reports. It is imperative to ensure accuracy and reliability in reporting, particularly when dealing with sensitive matters involving the security forces.
