The Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate in the February 25 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said the accidental bombing of Tudun Biri community in Kaduna State by the Nigerian Army, must be thoroughly investigated.
Atiku, a former Nigerian Vice President of Nigeria, said this on Tuesday via his official X handle
He said, “I am grieved by the news of the drone airstrike that killed dozens of people and left scores of others with various degrees of injury in the Tudun Biri community in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
“Ironically, the victims of this unfortunate incident were celebrating the Maulud anniversary. The incidence of miscalculated air strikes is assuming a worrisome dimension in the country. We need to develop counterinsurgency strategies that will insulate the civilian population from tragic incidents of this nature.
“I call on the authorities to launch a thorough investigation into this tragedy to avert future occurrences.
