In a heartbreaking turn of events, a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) airstrike mistakenly claimed the lives of civilians in Kaduna State on Friday.
The attack, intended to hit a terrorist hideout, tragically struck a mosque in the villages of Jika and Kolo, Giwa Local Government, killing 23 worshippers.
Eyewitnesses also reported casualties in a nearby market, further escalating the tragedy. NAF has clarified that the operation was aimed at terrorist camps and not civilians.
This incident, first reported by Daily Trust, was confirmed by a reliable source today in Kaduna.
The community is now grieving the loss of innocent lives amidst heightened tensions.
