MORE than 150 civilians were killed in a secretive US military operation in Nigeria in 2017 involving the bombing of a refugee camp, newly published documents revealed today.
A Freedom of Information Act report obtained by news website The Intercept revealed that US intelligence was involved in the attack in which 160 people died, most of them children.
The bombing of the Nigerian army-operated camp, which housed some 43,000 people in the city of Rann, close to the border with Cameroon and Chad, took place in January 2017.
