A delegation of the Nigerian Air Force Wednesday paid a condolence visit on Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto and the family of the victims allegedly killed by some air force personnel.

This is contained in a statement by Tambuwal’s spokesman, Malam Muhammad Bello.

According to Bello, the team, led by Air Vice Marshal Charles Ohwo, met the Governor in Sokoto to express their heartfelt sympathy to him and the people of Sokoto state over the tragedy at Mabera quarters in Sokoto South Local Government Area of the state capital late Sunday.

Reports indicated that a number of persons were killed and some injured during a fracas which led to the intervention of men of the Nigerian Air Force in Sokoto.

The force has also commenced investigation into the incidence to determine culpability or otherwise of its personnel.
