A resident of the Tudun Biri in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Idris Dahiru, says he lost 34 family members during the Nigerian Army’s aerial bombardment on Sunday, December 3.
Over 90 villagers were killed when a Nigerian Army drone struck a gathering of residents commemorating Maulud.
The Army has apologized for the killings saying saying it was targeted at terrorists.
Narrating his experience to BBC Hausa, Idris 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,” he added.
