NAF Airstrike, Borno |
|
Description |
An airstrike by NAF targeted at Boko Haram insurgents killed over 200 people, mostly civilian traders. The insurgents were tracked to the popular Jilli market, where they were believed to have visited to collect levies from traders and obtain supplies. Contrary to the allegations that the victims were civilians, the spokesperson of Joint Task Force (North East), Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), insisted that the target area was struck with high accuracy, destroying the identified terrorist logistics enclave and killing scores of terrorists. The death toll remains controversial, but the councillor of Fichiram Ward, Malam Lawan Zannah, confirmed that he verified about 200 fatalities. |
