Nigerians are urged to refrain from passing judgment on the military following the accidental drone attack in Tudun Biri community, Kaduna State, last Sunday. Major General Musa, speaking at the Senior Executive Course 45 graduation at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), emphasized the need not to demoralize troops combating insecurity.
While a group of northern lawyers plans legal action against the federal government over the incident, the House of Representatives vows to oversee the probe. Musa reassured that the incident was unintentional, expressing the military’s commitment to protecting lives and appealing for public support.
In a separate development, the Concerned Northern Lawyers Forum finds the army’s accidental claim troubling, announcing plans to seek justice through legal action. They insist on compensation for victims and families, urging a thorough investigation and a review of military rules of engagement.
The House of Representatives calls for caution in military operations, emphasizing the need to prioritize civilian safety. The Defence Committee pledges close monitoring of investigations, recognizing the challenges faced by the Armed Forces and emphasizing public support.
A Northern Senators Forum delegation, led by Senators Ningi and Yari, visits victims of the Kaduna airstrike, extending condolences and announcing a donation of N58 million. Senator Yari condemns the tragedy, calls for preventive measures, and welcomes the ongoing investigation into the incident.
