Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, says the Nigerian Air Force, deployed
aircraft in Gombe State after the #EndBadgovernance protest was hijacked by
hoodlums.
A statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information, AVM Edward Gabkwet,
said, the aircraft was deployed for reconnaissance missions, while, the Air Force’s
regiment forces joined other security agencies in quelling the unrest.
The Chief of Air Staff said, in realizing the wanton destruction of lives and property
during the recent protest in the state by unscrupulous elements, the need for extra
security measures became necessary, and the Gombe State Governor Inuwa Yahaya
commended the NAF 109 Combat Reconnaissance Group for quelling looting and theft
during the protest.
