NAF Strike: “We Need Answers, Says Gumi” — But Military Says Strike Was Justified
Tension is rising… and the narratives are clashing
Following the deadly airstrike in Borno, Islamic cleric Ahmad Gumi has demanded accountability, insisting: “We need answers, not condolences.” His statement has reignited national concern over civilian safety in military operations.
But here’s the twist…
The Nigerian Air Force is standing its ground.
According to the military, the strike was “in order”, based on intelligence that the location — reportedly a cattle market — was being used as a financing hub for terrorist activities. In their view, it wasn’t a mistake but a calculated move in the fight against insurgency.
Now this is where things get even more complicated 👇
Reports indicate that the same cattle market had actually been shut down over five years ago by the Borno State Government, raising serious questions about the accuracy and timeliness of the intelligence used for the operation.
So Nigerians are asking…
If the market was closed years ago, what exactly was targeted?
Was the intelligence outdated… or is there more to the story?
Gumi isn’t backing down. He maintains that repeated airstrike incidents involving civilians cannot be ignored and is calling for deeper investigations and transparency from the military.
Meanwhile, the military insists that in a war against terrorism, decisions are made based on available intelligence — often under intense pressure.
And now the big question remains:
Was this a justified strike based on real threats… or a tragic error that demands accountability?
One thing is certain — the gap between public concern and military justification is widening, and Nigerians are demanding clarity more than ever.
