Nigerian Army has released a video showing the confession of a suspected member of Boko Haram, in which he claimed that those present at the Jilli market during a recent airstrike were members of the group allegedly involved in logistics operations.
In the footage shared by the Army, the young man is seen being interrogated about the movement patterns and operational activities of his associates.
He also spoke about the roles of other suspected members linked to recent attacks.
Newspot reports that this comes in the wake of a military air operation at Jilli Market, where at least 56 people, mostly traders were reported feared dead following an airstrike along the Borno Yobe border.
The incident occurred on Saturday in the border area between Gubio and Geidam.
Four fighter jets were reportedly involved in the operation, which was said to have targeted suspected Boko Haram fighters.
In response, the Nigerian Air Force stated that the strikes were carried out based on credible intelligence and in coordination with ground forces.
