A fighter jet targeting terrorists in Lakurawa mistakenly bombed two peaceful communities in Silame Local Government Area of Sokoto State on Wednesday morning, leaving many feared dead and several others injured.

The affected villages, Gidan Sama and Rumtuwa, were hit around 7 am, according to local accounts.

The chairman of Silame LGA, Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad Daftarana, described the incident as devastating, stating that the victims were innocent residents.

“The villagers were sitting peacefully when the bombs started dropping on the communities. They were innocent and peace-loving people who had no any criminal record.

It is early for me to confirm the number of people either killed or injured because we are still assessing the development,” Daftarana said.
