Over 90 villagers of Tudun Biri in Rigasa District of Igabi Local tGovernment Area of Kaduna State were killed Sunday night when a drone of the Nigerian Army bombed a gathering of residents who were celebrating Maulud.
Residents said the incident, which occurred around 9pm on Sunday, also left over 60 people injured.
The military had since owned up to the bombing with report that many of the injured have been evacuated to Barau Dikko General Hospital in Kaduna for treatment.
Community and religious leaders described the incident as “harrowing, painful,” and frowned at repeated cases of military aircraft killing innocent people.
Survivors of the attack said about 93 bodies, some mutilated, were buried as of Monday evening.
