Daily Trust reported that a Nigerian Army drone struck a gathering of residents commemorating Maulud, leading to widespread casualties. The army expressed regret over the incident, asserting that the bombing was targeted at terrorists.
Idris Dahiru, sharing his harrowing experience with BBC Hausa, said, “Our annual Maulud celebration was shattered by unexpected airstrikes. The first bomb exploded without warning, killing innocent people, including women and children. Some victims were torn apart by the blast.”
He continued, “As we rushed to aid the injured, the jet returned, unleashing a second bomb. This time, many of those who had come to help were among the casualties. My family alone has lost 34 members in this tragedy. We have 66 loved ones receiving medical care at Barau Dikko hospital.”
The incident has left the community in shock and mourning, highlighting the devastating impact on innocent lives caught in the crossfire. The Nigerian Army’s regret over the bombing raises questions about the accuracy of targeting and the tragic consequences for civilians in conflict zones.
