The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has dismissed claims that its aircraft accidentally bombed some residents in Kaduna State.
There were reports that about 30 villagers were killed in air strikes by the NAF in Tudun Biri, Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Reports had claimed the incident occurred during Maulud, a joyful gathering marking the birth of Prophet Muhammad, at about 9 p.m. on Sunday.
Reacting, the NAF spokesperson, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, in a statement on Monday, said the Air Force had not carried out any air operations within Kaduna State and environs in the last 24 hours.

Gabkwet added that the NAF is not the only organisation operating combat armed drones in the North Western region of Nigeria.
He stated: “The news making the rounds aledging that Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft accidentally killed innocent civilians in Kaduna is false.
“It is also important to ensure that due diligence is always exhausted by the media before going to press with unverified and unconfirmed reports.”
