Nigerian air raids killed 'at least 35' last month

Human Rights group Amnesty International says Nigerian air raids killed at least 35 people in Adamawa State last month.

Fighter jets last December fired rockets at the Lawaru, Dong, Kodomti, Shafaron and Nzuruwei villages to disrupt fighting between nomadic herdsmen and local farmers. 
At least eight villages were damaged or destroyed by fire.
 
The operation on December 4 came after herdsmen attacked the five villages, following a massacre of 51 members of their community in November.

Amnesty International has described Nigeria's response as inadequate, and unlawful. 

The Nigerian Air Force's Public Relations Director, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya, said the air raids were warning shots to cause people to flee the area, and this has resulted in a positive effect.
