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.
