The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Wednesday denied sending 100 aircraft to Yobe State in search of the abducted girls in Dapchi.
Recall that there were reports in some sections of the media of the deployment of 100 aircraft in an intensified approach to finding the girls.
This was revealed in a statement signed and sent to TheNewsGuru.com on Wednesday by the Director of Public Relations and Information of the force, AVM Adetokubo Adesanya.
The statement reads:
NIGERIAN AIR FORCE DID NOT DEPLOY 100 AIRCRAFT FOR SEARCH OF DAPCHI GIRLS
The attention of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has been drawn to a statement being circulated to the effect that 100 NAF aircraft had been deployed in search of the missing Dapchi girls. While paying a courtesy call on the Executive Governor of Yobe State, in company of the Chief of the Air Staff, on 27 February 2018, the National Security Adviser, Mohammed Monguno, indeed spoke about the number of sorties so far conducted by NAF aircraft in the course of searching for the missing girls within a stated period. Obviously, the number of sorties does not equate the number of aircraft deployed.
