Residents of Jabo, a village in the NY Nigerian state of Sokoto, told AP Friday that they were seized with panic & confusion at the airstrikes.

They also said the village had never been attacked by armed gangs as part of the violence the #US says is widespread, though such attacks regularly occur in neighboring villages.

“As it approached our area, the heat became intense,” recalled Abubakar Sani, who lives just a few houses from the scene of the explosion.
