In the statement made by the Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), it was reminded that on the evening of December 3, a NAF aircraft bombed the village in Tudun Biri village in Kaduna state, while the villagers were gathering for the Mawlid celebration.
BALANCE SHEET MAY GET HEAVY
“The Northwest Regional Office learned from local authorities that 85 bodies have been buried so far and the search is still continuing,” the statement said. The expression was used.
Mallam Jamalu, one of the officials of Tudun Biri village, told AA correspondent that most of those who lost their lives were women and children, and that more than 50 people were injured in the incident.
Jamalu stated that most of the injured were in critical condition and expressed concern that the number of deaths would increase.
NOT THE FIRST CASE
While the army has previously denied that such an incident took place in the region, it does not currently comment on the incident.
Kaduna Governor Uba Sani said the bombing of the village was “shocking” and called for an immediate investigation into the incident.
Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, had stated that NAF “accidentally” bombed the country during a routine operation against terrorists in the state.
Nigeria has recently been facing attacks by armed gangs as well as terrorist organizations Boko Haram and ISWAP in different parts of the country.
Security forces in the country occasionally organize operations to fight against armed gangs and terrorists.
On January 17, 2017, in Nigeria, a NAF jet accidentally bombed a camp for displaced people in the country’s Borno state.
