The Nigerian Air Force has said that it would have killed more civilians than Boko Haram had it engaged insurgents who carried out a recent attack on Garkida town in Adamawa State.
The Air Force had come under public criticism for just hovering over Garkida without firing at the insurgents during the attack on the town, which left some civilians killed.
He said, “We should pray for the souls of those that are departed. It was very unfortunate, we must remember that war is tragic in itself. There are tragic events you cannot rule out completely.
