The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, has expressed concern over the number of civilian casualties during air raids across various theatres of operation.
At least 64 people were killed and many injured in an airstrike by a Nigerian Air Force on December 19, 2022, at Mutumji Community in Maru Local Government of Zamfara on December 19, 2022.
He stated this in the December edition of the official magazine of the Nigerian Air Force, Airman, which was obtained by our correspondent on Friday. “Concerned by the need for extra measures to minimise civilian harm and casualties, as well as take all feasible precautions in the strategies and methods of air attack to be deployed to avoid, or at least minimise civilian collateral damage, I recently instituted a committee of officers to compile all allegations of accidental strikes on civilians as well as investigate the circumstances leading to such strikes.
