NAF denies paying ransom to bandits

In a statement which was signed by Edward Gabkwet, Air Commodore Director of Public Relations and Information Nigerian Air Force said, “the attention of the Nigerian Air Force has been drawn to news reports circulating on some media platforms alleging that the NAF, through one of its personnel, paid the sum of N20 Million to armed bandits operating in Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State in exchange for an anti-aircraft gun allegedly seized.

“For the avoidance of doubt, it must be stated that there is no basis for the NAF to pay bandits or any criminal elements that it has continued to attack and decimate in Katsina State, other parts of the North-West as well as other Theatres of Operation in the Country,” the statement said. The statement added that the false reports could be a part of a campaign to further the cause of insecurity in Nigeria by elements who see the NAF as a threat following a series of successful exploits in operations against criminal gangs.

“The public is enjoined to disregard the falsehood emanating from some sections of the social and mainstream media.

Once NAF, ARMY, DSS or the Nigerian Police are involved in denial, know ye that it is the truth.

As the denied there jet was shot down in zamfara but later accepted

Nigeria air Force will deny but later the we accept as the normally do.

What have they ever agreed on?

There’s no prove NAF did not do it. Just rubbish as always. We are wiser

As usual
