Kwankwaso speaks on Kaduna drone attack on civilians, calls for compensation
Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, has expressed grief over the Sunday night bombing by the Nigerian Army that killed scores in Tundun Biri, Kaduna State, during the Maulud celebration.
The former Kano State governor identified the “mistaken” airstrikes as “another horrific tragedy of security agencies,” urging the necessary authorities to guarantee justice is delivered.
“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.
He also urged the government to compensate the families of the bombing victims.
“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,” Kwankwaso wrote on his X pa
