The Army said a fighter jet had misfired and shot some humanitarian aid workers of the International Committee of Red Cross and the Medicines Sans Frontiers, and some civilians in Kala Balge in Borno during an operation.

The Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj.-Gen. Lucky Irabor, on Tuesday in Maiduguri said, “This morning, we received a report about the gathering of Boko Haram terrorists around Kala Balge area of Maiduguri.

“I coordinated and I directed that the air component of the operation should go and address the problem.



“Unfortunately, the strike was conducted but it turned out that other civilians were somewhere around the area and they were affected.

“So far, it is a little bit disturbing; death has occurred. There are casualties; there were deaths and injuries but on the actual number of casualties, we would get back to you later.

“I am yet to get the number of casualties of civilians killed, but two soldiers were also affected.

“Some humanitarian staff of Medicines Sans Frontiers and some staff of International Committee of Red Cross were also affected.

“We are sending helicopters to evacuate those that were critically wounded, including our wounded soldiers.”

When they acquired drones, we told them they wouldn't be able to manage them.


But come oo Just when a probe of the 250 million Naira pocketed by Secretary to the federal government, Mr. Babachir, is about to start


Babachir said he used 250 million Naira to buy cutlass to cut grass at this IDP camp. Nigerians screamed.

But now that the airforce has gone there to bomb and erase any evidence, Buhari and his secretary should be held responsible

Funny enough more innocent people have died indirectly as a result of the war on BH in Borno than d actual war itself,either due to starvation arising from corruption,in a supposed anticorruption govt,or from incompetent actions like this.
Meanwhile the military is more interested in attacking PT than squarely facing its job and shaming doubters.

Collateral damage. Sad news.

This is sad news. But we should not be too quick to blame our gallant soldiers. Even the USA army at times makes such mistakes. This incident should be properly investigated to see if their is any act of negligence on part of our military.

Just sad news everyday

Bros, when exactly did u see light? Or is this someone else?

So the Airstrip which the Airforce recently released the video of was on Civilians? Our Intel is poor

Buhari has started killing Nigerians directly and openly. No more pretence! SOS the Nigeria President has gone MAD

Jihad from all corners.

What have we done to deserve this Fulani herdsman in Aso rock

To an extent, this could be the product of Quota Systems with f9 in Geography and Maths who, ordinarily, should not be trusted with a bicycle carrying a gun, is given a fighter jet to fly.

Thank God he did not face Aso rock in Abuja.
