The Nigerian Air Force has dismissed the video shared by Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, as fake saying that the pictures were edited.
Speaking on Friday through its Public Relations Officer, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet revealed that nothing in the seven-minute video showed that the air force belonged to the NAF.
Recall that the leader of Boko Haram Abubakar Shekau released a video admitting that it shot down the Nigeria Air Force jet on the 31st of March, 2021 as it was on its routine mission in Borno State.
As reported by Tribuneonline, Gabkwet said, “We have seen some videos but there is nothing that has proven that the aircraft in those clips belongs to us, or have you seen a Nigerian Air Force aircraft number or the body of Air Force pilot or have you seen any Air Force uniform. Until we get all these details straightened out, we are not going to go into speculation.
“That video could have been shot somewhere. I have seen four videos so far. One of them has lush vegetation in the background, and I wonder where they have such vegetation in the Northeast. Unless they did something and they are releasing the clips bit by bit, we are waiting.
“Except we have evidence because like I said, these persons have families and you cannot go their wives, parents or wards, you must bring concrete evidence. There must be something to show.”
