Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Sokoto-based prominent Islamic scholar, Sheikh Muhammad Bello Yabo, has said the accidental bombing of innocent Nigerians has been happening only in the Northern region because of a lack of unity among elites in the region.<\/p>\n

The clergy, who were reacting to the erroneous bombing of over 120 villagers in Kaduna State last week Sunday by the Nigerian military, lamented the recurring incidents in the region.<\/p>\n

He claimed that the Nigerian army is yet to make any mistake bombing innocent citizens in the Southern part of the country.<\/p>\n

In a viral video, the cleric recalled how the army erroneously bombed Internally Displaced Persons, IDP camps in Borno and other states, leading to the death of scores.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt was not the first time the bombs were dropped on innocent people by security agencies, and they would claim it was a mistake. They once targeted IDPs in Borno. Same in Yobe, they also dropped a bomb in Nasarawa, and now it happened in Kaduna.<\/p>\n

\u201cTill date, the military has not made any error bombing in southern or eastern parts of this country. It always happens in the north because of our lack of unity.<\/p>\n

\u201cNorth is bleeding, bandits kill us, hunger kills us, and the military that is supposed to protect us, is also killing us. This is too much for us. Who do we report to if not Allah and we are telling him to have mercy on us and protect us.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Bola Tinubu had, while condemning the Kaduna killing, described the deadly airstrike as a bombing mishap. He had assured Nigerians that the victims would get justice.<\/p>\n
