“As we hurried to assist the injured, the aircraft returned, releasing a second bomb. This time, many of those who had come to offer help became casualties themselves. In my family alone, we mourn the loss of 34 members in this tragedy. Currently, 66 of our loved ones are receiving medical care at Barau Dikko hospital,” he added.
