I Lost 34 Family Members To Kaduna Bombing – Resident Mourns

Idris Dahiru, a resident of Tudun Biri in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has disclosed that 34 of his family members were killed during the Nigerian Army’s aerial bombardment on Sunday evening.

Recall that over 85 villagers lost their lives when a Nigerian Army drone targeted a gathering commemorating Maulud.

The army had expressed regret for the bombing, asserting that it was aimed at terrorists.

Speaking with BBC Hausa, he said, “Our annual Maulud celebration was shattered by unexpected airstrikes. The first bomb exploded without warning, killing innocent people, including women and children, some victims were torn apart by the blast.

“As we rushed to aid the injured, the jet returned, unleashing a second bomb; this time, many of those who had come to help were among the casualties.

“My family alone has lost 34 members in this tragedy. We have 66 loved ones receiving medical care at Barau Dikko hospital.”
