Residents in the village of Jabo in northwestern Nigeria’s Sokoto State who spoke to Al Jazeera said the air strike did not result in any casualties.

Abdulrahman Mainasara, a Jabo resident, explained that Thursday night’s attack struck an already cultivated farmland behind a primary school at the outskirts of the village.

Abulrahman visited the scene last night, took some pictures and witnessed how some locals carried debris from the scene.

“The bomb fell and burst into many pieces. There were two big pieces of debris. One of them was carried by two people,” he told Al Jazeera on Friday.

The article concludes:

While armed fighters, locally known as bandits, operate in Nigeria’s northwest, their operations are mostly in the eastern part of Sokoto State and not the southern part of the state where the US attacked.

The first airstrike targeting ISIL (ISIS) fighters in northwest Nigeria for (in the words of Krasnov), "targeted and viciously” (killing) “primarily, innocent Christians, at ⁠levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!”

The real motive must be some kind of profit.
