A video circulating on Saturday morning shows bandits learning how to operate anti-aircraft weapons in an undisclosed location in Northern Nigeria.
The one-minute clip captures a group of suspected Fulani bandits practicing how to shoot down aircraft.
In the video, one of the men asks another, “Ibro, have you ever used an anti-aircraft gun before?” Ibro replies, “Yes, I shot down three jets with the anti-aircraft weapon in Northern Nigeria.”
The video has sparked concerns over the increasing sophistication of weapons in the hands of armed groups in the region.
