[THESTREETJOURNAL.ORG] The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has refuted a publication in an online platform, which alleged that it did not respond to calls for support when suspected "NAF wishes to state that there is absolutely no iota of truth in the spurious allegations that it failed to respond to calls for support following information allegedly obtained by the online platform, which said it received the report on Sunday, November 1," Mr Daramola, an air commodore, said.
"Indeed, we ordinarily would not have responded to such baseless, unfounded allegations but for the need to set the record straight and reaffirm NAF’s commitment to ensure the security of Nigeria and Nigerians, wherever they may reside.
"For the avoidance of doubt, it must be stated that NAF did not receive any call for support regarding an attack on the Village.
"Had any such report been received, NAF, in its characteristic responsiveness, would have certainly taken appropriate action," he said.
Mr Daramola said that the report rightly remarked that if air support came on time, one or two air strikes would have decimated them.
