Emerging report indicates that the Nigeria Air Force, NAF, has deployed its troops and fighter aircraft to Jos, Plateau State, to join the Military efforts in curtailing the herdsmen’s killings in the State.
This decision came barely a few hours after President Muhammadu Buhari and his team left for Turkey.
This deployment was announced on Thursday by the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya.
Adesanya said the deployment was to prevent reprisals from the natives, which “would escalate the conflict”, adding that, the joint Military operation in the State, Safe Haven, would ensure a lasting end to the killings.
He said: “We have deployed some air assets and personnel to Jos, to support Operation Safe Haven to maintain peace and curtail senseless killings, as well as the possible spread of violence in some parts of the State.
“The deployment was ordered by the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, in compliance with the directive of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari, to ensure that an end is put to the current spate of violence and killings in the State. The deployment is also to ensure the prevention of reprisal attacks, which could escalate the conflict.
“The deployed NAF assets include the L-39ZA aircraft and the EC-135 helicopter, which are to provide necessary air cover to the surface Forces participating in the operation in the State.”
