Nigeria air strike 'kills 50'

A total of 50 people were killed and 120 wounded when Nigerian fighter jets "mistakenly" bombed people displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency and aid workers in north-eastern Borno state.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhadri is said to be deeply sorry.

The air force was engaged in the "final phase of mopping up insurgents" when "this regrettable operational mistake" happened, he added.
