Rabiu Kwankwaso, the NNPP presidential candidate for the 2023 elections, expressed deep sorrow over the Nigerian Army’s bombing in Tundun Biri, Kaduna State.
The incident occurred during a Maulud celebration, resulting in numerous deaths. The former governor called for a thorough investigation to identify the causes, hold those responsible accountable, and prevent future occurrences.
He extended condolences to the affected families and urged the military to implement reforms to minimize the risk of accidental bombings during operations.
He said, “I am saddened by the news of the drone airstrike that killed scores of people and left numerous others with various degrees of injury in the Tudun Biri community of Igabi Local Government.
“This incidence of ‘mistaken’ airstrike, is another gory episode of security agencies leaving unintended harm to the poor masses they should protect in the country.
“The concerned authorities need to approach this with all sincerity and determination to ensuring justice is done, and any future occurrence is avoided.
“Consequently, I join other well-meaning individuals in calling on the government to adequately compensate the bereaved inhabitants of Tudun Biri for the immense trauma they have endured.”
