Another Facebook user called for the arrest and prosecution of those responsible, saying:

"Mistaken d IDP camp as what? Were they drunk? Have we started having bomb driven army officers with accidental bomb discharge like d Nigerian police?

"They should b arrested and prosecuted cos there might b a reason behind this. I believe they were all professionals in that jet."

Another Facebook user says:

"The north shall continue to experience tragedy, till eternity for killing 3.5 million of my people during the genocidal war they brought on us yesterday was bomb blast in university in Borno state today is bomb blast in IDPs camp more are coming."

"Every human being is capable of making mistakes. At least they they better than those who failed to protect their citizens intentionally."

"Subhanallah may Allah rest their souls, for the misguided igbo's making reckless comments they should know it can happen to anyone.. you better stop mocking the dead and seek God's forgiveness."

"We should b sympathetic to this people. Loosing lives daily to Boko Haram is pathetic. I don't know why some people take joy in people loosing dear lives. It is bad. Some people are bad to comment rubbish in d name of ethnicity. I hate seeing people not valuing lives."
