It is also my prayers that the Almighty Allah (SWT) will console their families and grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss

I also call on all necessary authorities in Nigeria as well as the international community to investigate the incident.

It is strange that the military could “mistakenly” bomb an IDP camp that it created and aware of the location.

It was wrong for President Buhari to have jumped into conclusion that the air strike was a mistake.

By saying it was accidental, the President already foreclosed investigation, which he ought to have ordered before jumping into conclusion

In as much as the FG is making efforts, which must be commended, the govt must stop deceiving Nigerians. FG should say the truth about BH

First, they said they have defeated Boko Haram technically. Later they claimed Boko Haram flag was captured.

But look at what we are witnessing now. Look at bombings and attacks here and there by the same Boko Haram they told us had been defeated.

If indeed Boko Haram had been defeated, what was d need for d air strike that led to d killing of those Nigerians in d IDP camp yesterday?
