The Senator representing Kaduna South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Sunday Marshall Katung, has said that they will ensure that the victims of military drone in Tudun Biri community in Igabi LGA of Kaduna State get justice.
The Nigerian Army had on Monday admitted that while its troops were in pursuit of terrorists at Tudun Biri village of Afaka Ward, Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, mistakenly bombed some villagers at a religious function.
In a statement to commiserate with the people of Kaduna State and the community involved, Senator Katung said they will ensure the survivors are well taken care of.
“The unfortunate incident resulted in the death of many of our citizens and several others injured.
“This incident is quite regrettable and a temporary setback to the renewed onslaught against terrorists and bandits in that area, Kaduna State, and the nation at large.
“I, therefore, commiserate with the families and community of the victims, the people, and the Senator of Kaduna Central Senatorial District, and also the government of Kaduna State over the tragic incident.
“I also want to commend His Excellency, Sen. Uba Sani, for his prompt and courageous response by ordering the immediate investigation into remote cause of the mishap, and also meeting with community and religious leaders to avert the possible breakdown of law and order in the state. I enjoin citizens to trust this process and remain calm and peaceful while we all mourn.
“Myself and the Senator from Kaduna North Senatorial District, Sen. Ibrahim Khalid will be working with Sen. Lawal Adamu Usman and the state government to ensure that the victims are well catered for, while investigations are ongoing,” Katung added.
