A group, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned the attack at Tudun-Biri, Igabi local government area of Kaduna State, where scores of villagers were killed on Sunday night as they celebrated the Maulud an-Nabiyy.
The group’s executive director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, said the Nigerian Army has accepted responsibility for the attack and called for full scale investigation and compensation for the victims.
He described the incident as sad and unprofessional and demanded proper investigation and compensation for the victims.
“MURIC demands full investigation into the circumstances surrounding this disaster. Those found responsible for the callous murder of these innocent Muslim villagers must be made to face the full wrath of the law.
“We also demand full compensation for lives lost and properties destroyed in this thoughtless attack. Life is sacred and soldiers should not turn innocent civilians to lawful targets of their killing machines.”
