Boko Haram Attack: Air Force Airstrike Kill Soldiers Accidentally In Born by gistongist: 5:21pm On Apr 26, 2021 |
Force fighter jet on a mission against Boko Haram extremists mistakenly bombed men of the Nigerian Army on Sunday, killing over 20 officers. A military source who disclosed this on anonymity, said the soldiers who were reinforced from Ngandu village were said to be on their way to Mainok, headquarters of the Kaga Local Government Area of Borno state which was under attack by militants from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram. The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), formerly known as Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād. reported how the gunmen attacked a Nigerian Army location at 156 Battalion in the community, killing over 30 soldiers. The terrorists who came in no fewer than 15 gun trucks also burnt down the military base. A source who pleaded anonymity confirmed the report saying a reinforcement team of the Nigerian Army sent to the community was mistakenly bombed by an Air Force fighter jet. According to him, “The Boko Haram terrorists disguised in military uniform, gained access to the camp though, came in different groups and could not be counted. The Nigerian Army were pinned down, they requested for reinforcement, the reinforcement got on their way only to get smoked by the Nigerian Airforce. “The (reinforcement team) was coming from Ngandu and were killed by an airstrike. Another source said, the Air Force mistook them for Boko Haram as both were cladded in similar military uniform and operational vehicles,” . Villagers in the past have reported some civilian casualties in near-daily bombardments in North Eastern Nigeria. Recently, a military jet that came to repel an attack by Boko Haram dropped a bomb that landed in a compound where civilians were holding a naming ceremony. Some of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014 and freed last year also said three of their classmates were killed by Air Force bombardments. Another source said, the Air Force mistook them for Boko Haram as both were cladded in similar military uniform and operational vehicles,” . source:https://gistongist.com/boko-haram-attack-air-force-airstrike-kill-soldiers-accidentally-in-born/
