Sokoto State governor, Ahmed Aliyu, has visited the two communities that were bombed by the military fighter jets in error.
No fewer than 10 persons were killed with several injured in military airstrike in the early hours of Wednesday.
Worried by the development, the governor defied the difficult terrain of the village and joined other residents for the funeral prayers for the dead victims.
He donated N20 million to support the families of those affected by the incident.
He was accompanied by the All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in the State, Senator Aliyu Wamakko and the Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi.
The governor sympathised with the community and described the incident as unfortunate.
“The military jets were on their mission to eliminate criminals armed groups terrorizing the state, and mistakenly bombed innocent people of this community,” he said.
“We consider this as a mistake because the same military had on several occasions successfully raided so many criminal hideouts in the State.”
