Multiple Explosions In Niger Community Leave Several Dead

Multiple explosions have rocked Galkogo community, in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State leaving many dead, including vigilantes.

The explosions reportedly occurred on Tuesday, January 24, 2023, creating tension in the community.

The explosions reportedly occurred when men of the Joint Security Task Force were patrolling the area.

A resident of the community narrated that the explosions were caused by air strikes from officials of the Nigeria Air Force.

“I believe the occupants of the fighter jet thought that the JTF members were bandits because there is really no reason to justify bombing them like that,” he said.

“I can’t tell you how many bodies were removed from where the incident occurred but I saw two vehicles that carried bodies from the scene.”

However, a security analyst identified as @secmxx, who confirmed the incident on his Twitter handle claimed that the explosions were caused by dynamites thrown by terrorists.
