A yet-to-be-identified soldier with the Nigerian army’s operation Hadin Kai on Wednesday killed nine civilians including a three-year-old girl in Borno State. SaharaReporters gathered that the victims were killed when the trigger-happy soldier recklessly opened fire on people in Mafa town. Eyewitnesses said the soldier who was said to be drunk, was with one of his colleagues at a military checkpoint in the town when the incident happened on Wednesday. About 16 people also sustained varying degrees of injury. “He opened fire and killed seven on the spot, including a 3-yr-old girl. Sixteen others sustained gunshot wounds, two of whom also later died,” a resident of the community said. |
