FACT CHECK UPDATE: Civilians Affected in Silame Airstrikes Contrary to Initial Reports

By Zagazola Makama
Zagazola has revisited its earlier report concerning the airstrikes carried out in Gidan Sama and Rumtuwa, two communities in Silame Local Government Area of Sokoto State, and can now confirm that some civilians were impacted during the operation.
Initial reports from security authorities stated that the airstrikes targeted only hideouts of the Lakurawa terrorist group and did not affect civilians. These accounts, which were based on intelligence and reconnaissance data, highlighted that the targeted locations had been abandoned by their original inhabitants and repurposed as bandit enclaves.
However, further investigations and corroborating video evidence have revealed that the strikes did, unfortunately, affect some civilians in the area. This new information contradicts the earlier narrative provided by authorities and highlights the complexities of operations in areas with mixed civilian and bandit presence.
Zagazola stands firmly for objective journalism and transparency. While we initially reported based on the information available at the time, we have uncovered new facts through additional investigations,” we can clarified.
As events continue to unfold, Zagazola remains dedicated to reporting the truth and ensuring the public is accurately informed.
