NewsmakersNG learnt that the jets were bombing terrorists that had ostensibly attacked Buhari’s convoy when the incident occurred.
According to sources, some of the villagers lost their lives when the bombs exploded while several others sustained injuries.
It was also gathered that many homes were also destroyed in the process.
