NAF Rejects Allegation Of Bombing Wrong Settlements In Zamfara, Explains Operations.
The Nigerian Air Force has rejected the allegations that only innocent civilians and not bandits were killed in recent air strikes conducted by its Air Task Force for Operation Diran Mikiya in the areas attacked in Zamfara State.
It further explained the procedures involved before air strikes were carried out in identified locations while ensuring that only targeted criminals were hit. “These were all further confirmed by days of detailed day and night Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions to ensure proper targeting for avoidance of collateral damage. To further ensure this, as standard practice, NAF attack aircraft on air interdiction missions are accompanied by ISR platforms that guide them to designated targets.”
“Rather than making such spurious and unsubstantiated allegations, NAF requests that anyone with evidence to the effect that innocent civilians were targeted by the NAF air strikes should produce such evidence,” the statement added.
