Nigerian govt regrets Zamfara killings – Minister

Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says the government regrets the killing of civilians in the Mutumji Community of Zamfara State during an air strike by the Air Force.

The minister, while addressing State House correspondents, on Wednesday, said lamentably innocent citizens also pay the highest price in the fight against insurgency.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that scores were killed during last weekend’s military operation repelling attacks by non-state actors in the Dansadau District of Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
