Many have been reportedly killed in an air strike carried out by the Nigerian Air Force at Tudun Biri village in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The incident is said to have occurred around 9pm on Sunday, when villagers gathered for Maulud celebration.
Although the Air force is yet to confirm the attack, a source in the community told newsmen that the villagers were mistakenly bombed in the air strike with the intention that they were bandits who were migrating from neighboring Zamfara State to camp in Tudun Biri village.
A former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, had on Monday morning shared a post on his X handle indicating the incident occurred.
According to Sani, “The translation of the post reveals that scores of people were killed yesterday by Ariel bombardment during a religious festival in a village near the Kaduna Airport.Clarification is needed CC @NigAirForce @DefenceInfoNG.”
Authorities are yet to react to the reported incident at press time.
