The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has insisted that there was no mistake in the military airstrikes targeted at the members of the Lakurawa terrorist group in Sokoto on Wednesday.

A fighter jet bombed two communities in the Silame Local Government Area of the state, killing at least ten people and injuring several others.

The Sokoto State Government had claimed that ten people who lost their lives in the strikes were “innocent villagers.”

But visiting the North-Western State a day after the incident, the CDS addressed journalists at the Giginya Cantonment Sokoto and maintained that those killed were criminals.

He, however, said that investigation would be launched into the matter.
