Nigerian Army Airstrike Mistakenly Kills Seven Children In Niger Republic by Kuginzi(op): 3:02pm On Feb 20, 2022

An airstrike launched by the Nigerian Army with the aim to dislodge armed bandits on the border of Niger Republic has mistakenly killed seven children in the country.

The incident occured in the village of Nachade on Friday, February 18, 2022.

This was confirmed by Chaibou Aboubacar, the governor of the Maradi region, where the incident took place.

Aboubacar told AFP on Sunday that 12 children in total were affected by the strike, of which seven have died and five currently receiving treatment for injuries sustained.

“There was a mistake with the Nigerian strikes on the border that resulted in victims on our territory in the village of Nachade."

“The victims are 12 children, seven of them dead and five wounded.”

Four children died instantly and three others succumbed “to their injuries while being transported to the hospital,” said Abubakar.

The governor said the parents of the victims were attending a ceremony at the time of the incident while the children were probably playing before they were hit by the strikes.

“The parents were attending a ceremony and the children were probably playing when the strikes...” said Aboubacar.

He is of the believe that the planes were targeting "armed bandits" in the border areas, but “missed their target” hitting Nachade instead.

The governor revealed that he visited the graves of the children on Saturday and also stopped at the bombardment scene.

Meanwhile, at the time of this report, the Nigerian Army is yet to either confirm or debunk the incident.

The violence perpetuated by heavily armed gangs in the southwestern states of Katsina, Sokoto and Zamfara has spilled into several municipalities in the Maradi region of Niger Republic.

Properly trained fighters or untrained ones recruited on a nepotic basis?
Was it a mistake or a consequence of deliberate negligence of protocols?

Intentionally they will avoid and take off whenever they are faced by the bandits but will surely and mistakenly bomb innocent civilians, and they are supposed to be professionals right huh

I'm telling you. Retardedd brains can't pilot a fighter jet, if it's same I see US and Russia parade. You've got to undergo an intensive training and make it a core course. Fighter jets aren't toys

It is now a normal occurrence in Nigeria for military air strikes to mistakenly target innocent civilians.

Sometime airstrike bombing have advantage and disadvantage, d advantage is it can kill scores of enime or terrorist at once while d disadvantage own it so painful it can also kill innocent pple and most affected are always children and women.

Maybe those people selling them the fighter jets should have made that a requirement before selling to them. But it seems they are only interested in the money, not concerned about what the weapon is being used for.
