Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has charged the Nigerian Army to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accidental bombing of villagers at Tudun Biri community in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State by its personnel.
Abbas, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, expressed grief over the incident, which reportedly claimed no fewer than 30 lives.
The Kaduna State Government has reportedly said the Nigerian Army had claimed responsibility for dropping the bomb, in what it described as “an unfortunate and unintended attack.”
Nevertheless, said the speaker expressed worry that innocent people who were going about their lawful activities got killed in such circumstances. He noted that it is imperative for the Nigerian Army to ascertain what led to such “a costly mistake.”
According to him, the Nigerian Army should leave no stone unturned to unravel what happened with a view to forestalling a repeat of such an unfortunate incident.
Abbas, who sent his heartfelt condolences to the people and government of Kaduna State, especially the family of those that lost their loved ones in Tudun Biri community, prayed Allah to grant them eternal rest and give their families the fortitude to bear the loss.
