Nigerian Air Force Killed Over 20 Army Officers By Accident In Strike Targeting Boko Haram

The soldiers who were reinforced from Ngandu village were said to be on their way to Mainok, headquarters of the Kaga Local Government Area of Borno state which was under attack by militants from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), formerly known as Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād.

SaharaReporters had on Sunday reported how the gunmen attacked a Nigerian Army location at 156 Battalion in the community, killing over 30 soldiers.

The terrorists who came in no fewer than 15 gun trucks also burnt down the military base.

A source told SaharaReporters that a reinforcement team of the Nigerian Army sent to the community was mistakenly bombed by an Air Force fighter jet.

“The Boko Haram terrorists disguised in military uniform and gained access to the camp. They came in different groups and could not be counted. The Nigerian Army were pinned down, they requested for reinforcement, the reinforcement got on their way only to get smoked by the Nigerian Airforce.

“The (reinforcement team) was coming from Ngandu and were killed by an airstrike. The Air Force mistook them for Boko Haram as both were cladded in similar military uniform and operational vehicles,” a source said.

Villagers in the past have reported some civilian casualties in near-daily bombardments in North Eastern Nigeria.

Recently, a military jet that came to repel an attack by Boko Haram dropped a bomb that landed in a compound where civilians were holding a naming ceremony.

Some of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014 and freed last year also said three of their classmates were killed by Air Force bombardments.

Elohim will fight the battle for his chosen people of Go[d.

Biafrans read the story of Gesion and his 300men
Judges 7 19-24

Then he told them, "Get up! God is giving you the victory over the Midianites." He divided his three hundred men into three groups. Then he gave each man a trumpet and a jar with a torch inside it. He told his men, "You do what I do. When my group blows over trumpets you blow yours and shout, "For the Lord and for Gideon." The three groups went down the mountain to the Midianite camp and got there about 10 o'clock at night. They surrounded the camp, blew their trumpets, broke their jars, held up their torches and shouted. They stayed where they were and kept blowing their trumpets. The Midianites jumped up and fled. In the confusion of the night, they started fighting each other. Those who weren't killed fled to the Jordan River. More Israelites came to fight the Midianites along the way. Gideon sent messengers to the Israelites in the tribe of Ephraim and told them to defend the river, to keep the Midianites from escaping. Only 15,000 men out of the army of 135,000 were able to escape across the river. The rest were all killed.

The terrorist presidency are killing southern soldiers through sabotage, last time I checked , pantami is still the minister of communication...

The insurgents are in the army and in the govt of the day... Dis whole war on insurgency is jus make believe

This is a planned work, no be accident

It's either the pilot is a "repentant" Boko Haram or he is one of Pantami's Jihadists boys in the Military.

It’s not a mistake. It was well planned and intentional. This is why they are killing southern pilots of the planes to give way to terrorists pilots

Accident or undercover boko haram pilot carried out the attack?

Been told most of the army officers killed are southerners and middle beltians

more of this news

it's only a fool that will believe it was a mistake

How can the military make sure terrible mistake? How can this be an accident?

This wasn't a mistake. It was a coordinated attack on the reinforcements. Every soldier of southern origin should consistently watch his six.

It's possible a BH mole gave the pilot the wrong coordinates to drop the bomb on the troops.
