0:32
state one of the troubled states in
0:34
Nigeria with frequent attacks on the
0:36
locals by bandits have reported that not
0:38
less than 20 vigilantes were killed
0:41
apparently in error by the Nigerian Air
0:43
Force fighter jet on Saturday when a
0:46
group of vigilante members gave a chase
0:48
to invading bandits who killed and
0:50
abducted a lot of persons most
0:52
especially farmers at Garan Manni Mariah
0:55
and Wabi villages in Maru local
0:57
government area of Zanfar Estate This an
1:00
apparent military insider news media
1:02
Zagazilla in its publication titled Air
1:05
Strike in Zanfara kills over 20 bandits
1:08
but claims vigilante casualties released
1:11
on Monday claimed that only five
1:13
vigilante members were killed because
1:15
the victims failed to follow operational
1:18
guidelines of military joint operations
1:21
Specifically the probably progovernment
1:23
and military news media stated that when
1:25
the vigilantes were given signal to
1:27
retreat they failed to do so According
1:30
to the Zagazola media the Nigerian army
1:33
has confirmed that over 20 bandits were
1:36
neutralized during a coordinated air
1:38
interdiction operation in Mariah and
1:40
Wabi villages of Maru local government
1:42
area of Zanfar Estate While four members
1:45
of a local vigilante group were also
1:47
affected in the attack Zagazula Makama
1:50
gathered from reliably sources that the
1:52
air strike which occurred on Saturday
1:54
May 31st was followed by a ground
1:57
exploitation mission on Saturday by
1:59
troops of one brigade operation fans
2:02
Yanma to assess the impact and conduct
2:04
clearance operations in the area The
2:07
sources said that the interdiction
2:09
inflicted significant losses on the
2:11
terrorists including the destruction of
2:13
their motorcycles and equipment during
2:16
the exploitation on June 1st It was
2:18
confirmed that over 20 bandits were
2:20
neutralized and several motorcycles
2:22
destroyed the source stated However the
2:26
source also confirmed that some number
2:28
of vigilante personnel were mistakenly
2:30
caught in the strike due to a failure to
2:32
comply with withdrawal orders issued
2:34
ahead of the operation Unfortunately
2:38
five vigilante members were killed while
2:40
two others sustained injuries and are
2:42
currently receiving treatment in the
2:44
hospital A few others sustained minor
2:46
injuries and did not require
2:49
hospitalization the source added
2:51
According to field reports the leader of
2:54
the vigilante group has accepted full
2:56
responsibility for the casualties
2:58
suffered by his men stating that they
3:00
disregarded earlier instructions to
3:02
withdraw from the outskirts of the
3:04
village ahead of the air strike He
3:06
admitted that despite being informed of
3:08
the imminent air operation some of the
3:10
vigilante youths insisted on pursuing
3:13
the fleeing bandits and were still
3:14
within the target area when the aircraft
3:17
struck the military source said Zagazola
3:20
learned that the interdiction was part
3:22
of intensified counterterrorism efforts
3:24
by troops under Operation Hadrand Daraji
3:26
to degrade the operational capacity of
3:29
armed groups terrorizing communities
3:31
across Zanfara and neighboring states
3:34
The sources said that the military has
3:36
consistently warned local security
3:38
outfits and civilian volunteers to
3:40
adhere strictly to operational
3:42
guidelines and instructions during joint
3:44
operations to prevent unintended
3:46
casualties The latest operation comes
3:49
amid renewed efforts by the Nigerian
3:51
armed forces to stabilize rural areas
3:54
ahead of the farming season and restore
3:56
civil authority in volatile communities
3:58
across the Northwest Sahare reporters
4:01
also reported that the Nigerian military
4:04
fighter jet has mistakenly struck and
4:06
killed about 20 men of a vigilante group
4:09
during an operation targeting bandits in
4:11
Garan Manni a village in the Maru local
4:14
government area of Zanfara estate The
4:17
tragic incident occurred after armed
4:19
bandits attacked the village killing
4:21
several residents and abducting over 50
4:23
others mostly farmers who were working
4:26
on their fields Eyewitnesses said the
4:28
attackers stormed the area on
4:30
motorcycles around noon shooting
4:32
indiscriminately and causing widespread
4:34
panic In response local vigilante groups
4:38
mobilized and began chasing the fleeing
4:41
asalants However a military aircraft
4:44
deployed to the scene allegedly
4:45
misidentified the vigilantes as bandits
4:48
and launched air strikes on them We were
4:50
pursuing the bandits when we saw the
4:52
fighter jet approaching One of the
4:54
vigilantes told BBC Houseer It flew very
4:58
low and started bombing us Some of us
5:01
survived by pretending we had been hit
5:03
When the jet left we got up and fled to
5:06
safety Another resident who spoke on
5:09
condition of anonymity confirmed the
5:11
incident and expressed disappointment
5:13
over the lack of communication from the
5:15
military We understand it was an
5:18
unfortunate mistake but the military
5:20
should acknowledge what happened and
5:21
reach out to the victim's families he
5:24
said He also appealed to the government
5:26
to deploy additional troops to the area
5:29
as the bandits had threatened to return
5:32
This is not the first time such an
5:34
incident has occurred In January an air
5:37
strike mistakenly killed 16 people
5:39
including vigilantes in Tangakara also
5:42
in Zanfara Similarly in December last
5:46
year 10 residents of Gidden Visa in
5:48
Sakuto state were killed in a
5:50
misdirected air strike As of the time of
5:53
filing this report the Nigerian military
5:56
has yet to issue an official statement
5:58
on the latest incident Sahare reporters
6:00
news report ends in quotes Abu Bakar Law
6:04
a Facebook user said "You know what
6:07
happened in Zanfara If not then let me
6:10
tell you Bandits attacked a village in
6:13
Maru and abducted 50 people Hearing this
6:16
the vigilantes went to rescue the people
6:18
who were kidnapped But the Nigerian Air
6:20
Force had another plan They mistakenly
6:23
bombed the vigilantes resulting in the
6:26
death of 20 of them and many feared
6:28
injured Now I have a question Since this
6:31
is the second time this is happening the
6:34
Nigeria Air Force cannot differentiate
6:36
between bandits or vigilantes or is
6:39
there anything they are not telling us
6:41
another Facebook user God Jr also said
6:45
that I don't see this as a mistake
6:47
anymore This is the fifth time in less
6:50
than 3 years I think How many more
6:54
mistakes will they make before they
6:55
learn and nobody will be punished Take
6:59
cover when you see military jetsu
7:01
because anything can happen
