No Plan to Retire Officers – NAF

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has denied a newspaper publication which stated that it planned to retire some of its officers from the service. Group Capt. Ayodele Famuyiwa, Director of Public Relations and Information, denied the report in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja. The statement quoted Ayodele as saying that the story was unfounded and did not emanate from NAF. “The publication alleged that the NAF is on the verge of retiring a number of senior officers connected with the ongoing investigation of arms purchase under the immediate past administration. “It is pertinent to state that this story is unfounded and did not emanate from NAF.’’ The statement advised newsmen to always confirm their story with the NAF before publication.
