The Nigerian Air Force NAF has condemned the reported flogging and physical assault of suspected bandits by some military personnel in Zamfara state, as totally unacceptable.
NAF’s spokesman, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, condemned the action in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
The attention of the Nigerian Air Force NAF has been drawn to a video and some pictures circulating on some social media and online platforms showing some military personnel flogging suspected armed bandits at Shinkafi Local Government Area in Zamfara State.
It noted that the NAF has discovered that some of its personnel were part of the joint team stationed at the Galadi Sub-Sector at the time.
The NAF described as unacceptable the flogging and physically assaulting of the suspects.
Daramola said the NAF would also continue to operate in line with international best practices, while remaining fully accountable to the Nigerian people.
