The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has provided monetary donations and built boreholes for families and communities impacted by its airstrikes in Zamfara State.
The NAF restored the ruined structure and substituted two motorcycles that were wrecked during the event.
NAF’s spokesman, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, announced this in a statement on Wednesday.
At least 16 civilians lost their lives and properties were damaged due to Nigerian Air Force attacks on January 11, as they attempted to target escaping militants in Dangebe village within the Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
After the incident, Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar, sent a fact finding team to the community, and promised to the families, reconstruct the damaged building, and replacement of the two motorcycles destroyed.
“It is heart-warming to announce that the Nigerian Air Force has kept every word of its commitment,” the statement said.
“The reconstruction of the damaged building has been completed, while 2 brand-new motorcycles have been handed over to their rightful owners.
Moreover, the anticipated borehole has been successfully completed and is currently benefiting Kambarawa Village and nearby communities, offering safe and readily available water to numerous inhabitants. Additionally, funds have been entirely distributed to the affected individuals and their families to support their recuperation and help them reconstruct their lives.
According to the statement, the gestures were reflective of NAF’s values of professionalism, responsibility, and respect for human dignity.
The NAF promised to minimise civilian harm, uphold human rights, and promote enduring civil-military relations as a strategic and moral imperative, during operations.
