Meanwhile, NAIJ.com previously reported that the chief of the air staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, directed that the Nigeria Air Force special forces be deployed to Zamfara, as part of efforts to stop the incessant banditry attacks in the state.
The directive was in response to the recent attack on Bawan Daji community in Anka local government area of the state where some lives were lost.
The special forces, who were trained in asymmetric warfare, were airlifted from Kaduna state with the NAF C-130 Hercules aircraft to complement the efforts of other security forces on ground to prevent further attack on innocent citizens.
