Bombing Tragedy Raises Concerns Over Nigerian Military Actions

In a tragic incident, a devastating bombing claimed the lives of numerous individuals, including women and children, according to a distraught witness. The first explosion resulted in a harrowing scene, prompting some to rush to recover the victims' bodies.

Shockingly, a second bomb targeted those involved in the rescue mission, leading to a staggering toll of 34 casualties within one family and 66 individuals hospitalized with injuries.
Describing the aftermath, a woman recounted the heart-wrenching sight of bodies scattered across the area, highlighting instances where mothers lost their lives while holding their infants.

The Nigerian military, previously accused of causing civilian casualties during confrontations with local militia groups referred to as "bandits," faces scrutiny. The government classifies these groups as "terrorists."

A report by SB Morgen, a research firm, revealed that over 300 people have lost their lives in unintentional strikes by the Nigerian military since 2017. In a tragic incident from 2021, a Nigerian fighter jet mistakenly targeted and killed at least 20 fishermen during a strike on a jihadist camp in north-east Nigeria.
