20 Civilians Dead After Nigerian Air Force Strike in Zamfara

At least 20 civilians died after a Nigerian Air Force airstrike mistakenly hit a group of local vigilantes in Zamfara State. The airstrike was meant to target a criminal gang, but it hit the wrong people.

The victims were mostly men who were trying to help their community fight crime. Witnesses said the attack caused chaos and sadness in the area. Many people are asking for answers and justice.

Amnesty International, a human rights group, has spoken out against the airstrike. They want the Nigerian government to investigate what happened and make sure it does not happen again.

This tragic event shows how hard it is to fight crime in Nigeria. Sometimes, local groups work with the military to keep their communities safe, but accidents like this put innocent lives at risk.

So far, officials have not shared details about the airstrike. Community leaders want the government to be open about what happened and to protect civilians during military actions.

People in Zamfara and across Nigeria are hoping for clear answers and better safety for everyone.
