The Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has assured that the Federal Government is determined to fully probe the accidental b%mbing by the Nigerian Army in Tudun Biri village, Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, and thereafter p¥nish anyone found culpable in the incident.
He also pledged that the victims of the incident would be supported by the Federal Government. The Vice president gave the assurance when he visited the victims of the attack at the Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital in the Kaduna State capital on Thursday.
“There is no gain in dwelling too much on this incident that has happened. I am here because the President is deeply concerned; he was deeply touched by what happened. Let’s not talk about the numbers, one life lost in cold blood is as gruesome as millions lost in a pogrom. The heart of the President is with the bereaved families. We were at the hospital to sympathise with the victims and be rest assured that the Federal Government stands by the community affected and the government and people of Kaduna State on this unfortunate incident.
It is already directed by Mr President, an investigation is being conducted with a view to preventing a re-occurrence of the incident and we expect a report to be submitted in the shortest possible time,” Shettima said days after the incident threw the nation into mourning.
