As much as, we want to condemn the pilot for the grave error that he had done in the wrong dropping of the bomb on the IDP camp. I would also want to remember the pilot and his family at a time like this. His wife would always be remembered as the wife of the pilot that killed many at the IDP camps.
His many successful campaigns in this fight against the insurgents has just been erased off with this error that might not even be his. I pray that God grants him the strength to go through this moment.
Guess what He is a brother to someone, a father to a child, a husband to a woman, a son to a mother and a friend to many.
Most importantly, May God give the family of the dead fortitude to bear the loss and the dead, REST.

Let's not get it twisted.

The commander directed the pilot to fire at BH and the pilot mistakenly fired at the innocent people at the IDP camp

No Nigerian jet is currently armed with any smart or guided munition , they currently depend on inertia to hit targets

I am not getting this at all. A defeated terrorist group that still requires the air support to suppress?

What is happening eh. We are already conversant with ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE from the ground forces. The Air Force just joined the reggae. I bet the navy one time wiped out a riverside community in Delta and blamed it on stored petroleum products.

Someone needs to be held for this innocent blood letting.

Last week it was "accidental discharge" inside Aso Rock.

Yesterday, another "Accidental discharge" at IDP camp.

I pray by next week we won't hear about another "Accidental discharge" at Social gathering, ATM/Banking halls, Market Square etc?

Lies! Lies! Lies!

He said the fighter jet misfired and he said they fired on the terrorists but they didn't know civilians were in the area....Which one is it biko?

If it misfired? Did it also misfire in the terrorists?

The truth is that they didn't bother to know if the area was secure before going to drop the bomb. This is probably how they have been killing others but because International red cross is involved,they are now forming stories that don't add up.

Apparently they don't know that coordinates of the targets are supplied to the pilot, who then engages the guided weapons based on the target coordinates.
Most comments here are so unreasonable that it shrinks my brain grin

Thank you.. A lot of people are acting like the airforce just woke up and decided to bomb the IDP. It is a very big and costly mistake, yes, investigate and hold the responsible people liable, yes, but stop overflogging this issue.

Why are people talking like our military incompetent. It is really annoying

So tell us about system malfunction. A missile will malfunction and release itself? If truly there is a malfunction, the launch system will refuse to deploy the missile, that's what happens. There are enough checks in the missile system that curtails accidental discharge so the pilot and lucky irabor should take the blame for not doing proper Intel and reconnaissance.what really happened was that a wrong info/coordinates where passed to the boss who feed same to pilot

Despite that being said, this is still a shitty situation that will forever taint the image of the men involved and the Nigerian army as a whole. Just imagine, a suicide attack killing 4 yesterday in University of Maiduguri and then the army kills over 50 the same day.
We just hope for the best, this should also be a practical lesson for the NA on how little errors can lead to colossal damage when using modern day guided weapons.

Please be reasonable for once! Boko haram is not written on their face.... Since most of them are Hausa and even most of the terrorists are from that village or neighboring places they can conveniently mix up with civilian. Oya tell me if u go to that camp now and see 100 dead bodies how do you want to differentiate boko haram and ordinary civilian.?

I am very sorry for the innocent lives lost, may their soul rest in peace

But we should understand that In a war like this, things like this are bound to happen late last year in the battle for mosul a misfired airstrike from the "Almighty USA ARMY" killed their ally Iraqi soldiers

PPlease all the government needs is constructive criticism and subjective minds


Nigeria can be like Canada, USA and other world countries..... Nigeria is what Nigerians make it
