The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, has said that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in combating the insurgents has degraded their resources and capabilities through punitive strikes.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the theme of this year’s seminar is: “Harnessing Nigerian Air Force Combat Experience in Joint Military Operations for Doctrinal Development.”
“Accordingly, the Armed Forces of Nigeria has been at the forefront of addressing these issues, in concert with other security agencies. “These punitive strikes have degraded their resources, disrupted their supply lines, and denied them of their freedom of movement. He explained that the aim of the seminar was basically to seek better ways of improving the efforts of the NAF and also help in re-strategising in the fight against insurgency.
Amao said that he has set up a committee of officers to compile all allegations of accidental strikes on civilians as well as review the circumstances leading to such strikes in the course of operation.
