Kaduna Bombing: ‘I Lost 34 Family Members’ — DAHIRU

Idris Dahiru, a resident of Tudun Biri in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has revealed that no fewer than 34 of his family members were killed in the Army’s aerial bombardment on Sunday evening.

It would be recalled that scores of villagers were killed when a Nigerian Army drone hit a gathering of residents commemorating Maulud, accidentally. 

But the Military has since expressed regrets, insisting that it was targeted at terrorists.

Speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa, Dahiru, said, “Our annual Maulud celebration was shattered by unexpected airstrikes. 

“The first bomb exploded without warning, killing innocent people, including women and children, some victims were torn apart by the blast.

“As we rushed to aid the injured, the jet returned, unleashing a second bomb. This time, many of those who had come to help were among the casualties.

“My family alone has lost 34 members in this tragedy. We have 66 loved ones receiving medical care at Barau Dikko Hospital.”
