Tinubu Urged to Probe 436 Deaths in Accidental Bombing, Amnesty Says

Amnesty International is calling for an investigation into the deaths of 436 civilians in Sokoto due to accidental bombing, alleging a cover-up by the military. The organization accuses Tinubu, Nigeria's current vice president, of failing to probe the incident.

Amnesty International has accused the Nigerian military of attempting to conceal the deaths of at least 436 civilians in Sokoto communities following an accidental bombing on December 25. The international rights organisation claims that the military is trying to cover up the incident, which has left a significant number of citizens dead. The development has raised concerns over the government's handling of the situation and the potential for human rights abuses. The Nigerian military had conducted airstrikes in Sokoto earlier this month, resulting in the reported casualties.
