The source who preferred anonymity noted that, “the two villages are located close to Surame Forest, which was identified as hideout of Lakurawa and bandits.

“No fewer than 10 villagers were killed with several others sustaining various degrees of injuries during the airstrikes.”

Also, confirming the attack, the chairman of Silame local government area council, Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad, said his team was still assessing the level of damage caused by the military airstrikes.

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

“It is too early to confirm the number of people either killed or injured because we are still assessing the development,” he said.
