“You can see the pictures and the video. It touched part of my house but my neighbours’ house was completely destroyed. We thank Allah that they barely left the house when this happened,” Goni told DAILY POST.

Another resident of the estate, Alhaji Bukar whose house was also destroyed by the rockets said that he was in his room when the rockets hit his house and part of the wall fell on his wife and his daughter but they were unhurt.
