The Nigerian Air Force has described reports of bombing a wedding venue in Niger State as an attempt to discredit the efforts of the NAF, Nigerian Army and other security Agencies.
The Director Public Relations and Information Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, in a statement, argued: “If indeed a wedding party was hit, the question Nigerians should be asking is ‘Why would a wedding party be held in a forested area with high concentration of banditry activities?
“It is clear that recent coordinate activities of the NAF, alongside the Nigerian Army and other security agents is yielding the expected result and obviously, some people are out to discredit these efforts. But be rest assured that we will not succumb to any blackmail.
“The NAF under the leadership of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, shall continue to hit the locations of these criminals until we flush them out of the entire area and peace and security is fully restored”.
It was reported that a NAF Alpha jet has bombed wedding venue in Genu town in Niger State, killing some of the guests.
