Operation from the air isn’t always easy. Occasionally,their are bound to be miscalculations and human error when flying a fighter jet to conduct a strike. Even the most advance fighter jet in the world equipped with the most sophisticated electronics are sometimes subjected to error due to it pilot. More Care need to be taking next time to avoid civilian casualties. BoKo Haram must be dealt with and wiped out completely.

I DON’T BELIEVE THAT WAS A MISTAKE. IDP CAMP IS A PLACE ESTABLISHED FOR PEOPLE WHO MANAGED TO ESCAPE FROM BOKO HARAM. THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ELIMINATE THEM.
