Initially, the Nigerian Air Force had denied any involvement in the incident, with Commodore Edward Gabkwet, the Director of Public Relations and Information for the Nigerian Air Force, asserting that no operations had been conducted by the NAF in Kaduna within the past 24 hours.

However, the situation took a new turn when Samuel Aruwan, the Overseeing Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, disclosed that Maj Gen VU Okoro, the General Officer Commanding 1 Division Nigerian Army and Force Commander of Operation Whirl Punch, acknowledged that the Nigerian Army was engaged in a routine mission against terrorists when this tragic incident occurred.
