Nigerian Air Force Jet Allegedly Bombs Civilians in Borno, Leaving Several Dead

Tragedy has reportedly struck again in Borno State as a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) jet allegedly carried out an airstrike that mistakenly hit civilians in Mararaba, a community in the state.
According to reports confirmed by Premium Times, the incident claimed the lives of several civilians, including fishermen and commercial drivers, who were said to be going about their lawful activities at the time of the strike.
Eyewitnesses from the area described scenes of confusion and panic after the bombardment, with residents alleging that the victims were not involved in any insurgent activities. Local sources say the affected area is known for fishing and commercial transportation, raising fresh concerns over civilian safety during military operations.
This latest incident adds to a troubling list of past cases where civilians have reportedly been caught in military air operations in the North-East, often described as “mistaken” or “erroneous” airstrikes. Human rights groups and community leaders have repeatedly called for improved intelligence gathering, stricter rules of engagement, and greater accountability to prevent loss of innocent lives.
As of the time of filing this report, the Nigerian Air Force is yet to release an official statement addressing the Mararaba incident. Residents and relatives of the victims are reportedly demanding an immediate investigation, public clarification, and adequate compensation for affected families.
More details are expected to emerge as authorities respond and investigations unfold.
