“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.

When contacted, the Spokesman of the Sokoto State Police Command, ASP Ahmad Rufa’i, declined comment on the development, saying it was not a Police operation.

Also, efforts to speak with spokesman of the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) in the State was not successful as his phone number was not reachable as at the time of filing this report.
