….says speculation handiwork of fake news merchants
Nigerian Air Force, on Saturday, dismissed social media reports of an attack on its Base in Kaduna by terrorists.
Director, Public Relations and Information Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, said in a statement that the speculation was the handiwork of merchants of fake news.
Gabkwet said occupants of the Base were going about their normal business.
The NAF statement read, “Merchants of fake news are at it again. This time around, their focus is on the premier Nigerian Air Force Base at Kaduna, which they claimed came under terrorists’ attack in the early hours of today, 26 June 2021.
“Members of the public should please disregard the news as it is entirely false. There was nothing of such as the inhabitants of the entire Base are going about their normal activities and duties without any threat whatsoever.”
