The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has denied a newspaper publication on planned retirement of officers from the service.

Ayodele Famuyiwa, a group captain and director of Public Relations and Information said the story was unfounded and did not emanate from NAF.

“The publication alleged that 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 journalists to always confirm their story with NAF before publication. (NAN)
