Nigerian Jet Drops Bomb On IDP Camp Mistakenly, Many Feared Dead by puritygen: 4:52pm On Jan 17, 2017
Several people are feared dead after a military plane mistakenly dropped a bomb inside the Rann IDP camp in Borno State.

The Rann IDP camp in Kala-balge Local Government Area caters for thousands of persons displaced by Boko Haram.

A source at the camp told PREMUM TIMES that at least hundred people were injured and needed to be evacuated to hospitals.

At least two people are feared dead from the incident and the injured included officials of the Doctors without Borders, MSF.

The military spokesperson, Rabe Abubakar, a brigadier general, confirmed the incident but explained that it was an error that the military deeply regretted.

He explained that soldiers got information of movement of Boko Haram members and deployed ground troops and air cover to tackle the terrorists.
It was the air support that mistakenly dropped the bomb, he said.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the state government has already ordered all hospitals in Maiduguri to be prepared to receive and promptly treat the injured.


Also, an International Red Cross, ICRC, helicopter has been deployed to the camp to evacuated the wounded to the various hospitals.

The Theatre Commander of Nigerian forces in Borno, Lucky Irabor, a major general, also confirmed the attack at a press conference.

“This morning today, we received reports about gathering of Boko Haram terrorists somewhere in Kala Balge Local Government area of Borno State. We got a coordinate and I directed that the air should go to address the problem.

“Unfortunately the strike was conducted but it turned out that the locals somewhere in Rann were affected.
“We are yet to get the details of the casualties. But we have some civilians that have been killed, others are wounded and we also have two of our soldiers that were also wounded. Among some that are wounded are local staffs of the Medicine Sans Frontiers as well as ICRC,” he said.
Details later…

When they acquired drones, we told them they wouldn't be able to manage them.


But come oo Just when a probe of the 250 million Naira pocketed by Secretary to the federal government, Mr. Babachir, is about to start


Babachir said he used 250 million Naira to buy cutlass to cut grass at this IDP camp. Nigerians screamed.

But now that the airforce has gone there to bomb and erase any evidence, Buhari and his secretary should be held responsible

It is true ooo !!

These people ran from their enemy and died in the hands of friends, quit unfortunate.

The pilot is either drunk, confused or lost his cordinates.

Some guys below me would have blamed it on GEJ 2yrs ago for starving the soldiers. The world goes round.

Sad news.

People and pessimism.... why do some people like bad news?

How can I celebrate an army's incompetence when innocent people are killed? Is that human at all?

I, for one, cannot live on hate.

RIP to the dead.

The people should not panic. We are on top of the situation.

This is operation Back to sender in action. We want to show the populace how we have been dealing with IMN, IPOB, NDA, etc etc. We did not apply full force while dropping the bombs, because we knew our people were there.

The military spokesperson, Rabe Abubakar, a brigadier
general, confirmed the incident but explained that it was
an error that the military deeply regretted.
He explained that soldiers got information of movement
of Boko Haram members and deployed ground troops
and air cover to tackle the terrorists.
Just imagine the filmsy and terse statement.

“This morning today, we received reports about gathering of Boko Haram terrorists somewhere in Kala Balge Local Government area of Borno State. We got a coordinate and I directed that the air should go to address the problem.

“Unfortunately the strike was conducted but it turned out that the locals somewhere in Rann were affected.
“We are yet to get the details of the casualties. But we have some civilians that have been killed, others are wounded and we also have two of our soldiers that were also wounded. Among some that are wounded are local staffs of the Medicine Sans Frontiers as well as ICRC,” he said.

This is an indictment on the theatre commander, the technical-know how of the Nigerian airforce and the intelligentsia. What do you expect from a military who always gives the enemy heads up by disclosing proposed tactical moves at press conferences.
We expect resignations from the theater commander , CAS and COAS.
RIP to the dead.
@alcmene, i feel your drift.
