Airstrike: We recorded some deaths — over 8,000 residents displaced, says Niger SSG | TheCable

Speaking on Saturday, Ahmed Matane, secretary to the Niger state government, said the aircraft belongs to the Nigerian Air Force, adding that it was not “a mysterious aircraft” as being rumoured.Matane said the government is in discussion with the Shiroro local government council officials and the management of facilities in the area that provide shelter for the IDPs.

“Since we came here, nobody has come to our aid; not even a single government official. We don’t have water to drink, not even to take our bath. We are suffering.” Ibrahim Bahago, a youth leader in Galadima-Kogo, said the community was told on Tuesday that bandits were going through the area. He said the vigilantes went toward the route the bandits were passing through, in the company of other security operatives, but they ran into an ambush.“Our vigilantes were ambushed and the next thing we heard was a very loud sound and it was a bomb thrown at the vigilantes protecting us. Many of them died,” he said.
