Nigerian Air Force mistakenly bombs wedding guests while searching for Boko Haram

Report has it that a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha jet has conducted offensive aerial bombardments around Genu town in Niger State, which resulted in the killings of some wedding guests, while others sustained injuries.

Sources say several bandits and rustled cattle were also killed by airstrikes of the NAF jet, which was scrambled from a military base in Katsina State.

Eons Intelligence reports that one of the bombs allegedly strayed at a wedding party in an adjoining village.

“We saw the small aircraft dropping bombs from afar on the location of fleeing bandits and one of the explosives hit a wedding event in Argida Village.

“Two villagers were also killed, unfortunately. We gathered that several others, who were guests at the wedding feast, sustained injuries,’’ a resident of the village told newsmen.
