Nigerian Air Force,NAF, Tuesday described a video released by Boko Haram purportedly showing NAF fighter jets killing some of the abducted Chibok girls as a ruse and a mischievous effort by the sect to draw public attention to itself.

NAF Director of Public Relations, Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa, said the video provided no evidence that the supposed casualty was a result of air to ground attack.

Famuyiwa said the video was a make-up story to discredit the NAF and more importantly to whip up public sentiments for the terrorist sect.

In a video posted online on Sunday, Boko Haram had claimed that the NAF air strikes had killed some of the girls and promised to release a video of the killing.

NAF however released its own video showing its precision target attack while maintaining that it’s planes only target confirmed terrorists.

Famuyiwa reiterated that the NAF has put-in place a number of measures to avoid the incidence of collateral damage.

He said considerable effort is committed to undertaking Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, both day and night, to ensure that only legitimate military targets are engaged.

The spokesperson said where there are doubts about target status, the NAF will not undertake strike missions.

Famuyiwa assured Nigerians living in the vicinity of NAF operations of their safety while urging them to disregard the video being circulated by Boko Haram.
