The spokesman for the Nigerian Air Force,Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa, yesterday dismissed allegations in a recent Boko Haram video that its fighter jets killed some of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls. Famuyiwa made this disclosure in a statement where he described the video as not only “a ruse” but “another mischievous effort” by the Boko Haram sect to draw public attention to itself. He said: “Whereas the video showed a cross section of the abducted girls and an airborne aircraft, it provided no evidence that the supposed casualties were as a result of any air to ground attack. More so, there is sufficient evidence to believe that the casualties were arranged as the positioning of the bodies clearly defiles any natural setting of a location that had undergone aerial bombardment.”
