Survivors of the Kaduna Sunday bomb attacks have expressed their grievances over the loss of their loved ones to the Nigerian Army.
Idris Dahiru, a resident of Tudun Biri, a community in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has narrated how he lost 34 relatives to the Nigerian Army drone bombing that occurred on Sunday evening.
In an interview with the BBC Hausa, Dahiru said the jet that bombed his relatives was invisible during the incident.
“We could only hear bombings,” he stated. “They (army) killed our children, our relatives, women. Some of their corpses were split into flesh.”
The survivor added that he lost 34 relatives while several others are currently receiving treatment at a hospital.
“In my family,” he said, “we lost 34 and 66 receiving treatment at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital.”
