ABUJA — SENATOR  Ali Ndume, yesterday, insisted that four bombs were thrown at his convoy from a military helicopter, belonging to the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, last Saturday, in Paulka village near Maiduguri, but Air Force authorities refuted the claim.

Reacting to the statement credited to the NAF that his convoy was not the target, Ndume said they were economical with the truth.
He wondered why the Air Force authorities could deny an incident that occurred in the full glare of members of the Pulka community, describing it as “operational blunder’’ by the Air Force personnel.
