Kaduna Bombing: Ribadu, Northern Senators Pass Vote Of Confidence On Security Agencies
Northern Nigerian senators and National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu have voted to have faith in the country’s security apparatus, even though a military drone accidentally hit a community in Igabi Local Government Area, Kaduna State. Even though the latest military incident resulted in 85 confirmed deaths and dozens of injuries, Ribadu and the parliamentarians are praising the dedication of security agencies to reduce security concerns in the region. During his fact finding mission to Tudun Biri hamlet, the NSA who offered the praise also promised that the bombing incident would not be ignored. He assured them that an all-encompassing probe would be launched shortly to prevent a repeat of the occurrence. In addition to doing an evaluation for the federal government, our purpose in being here is to meet with the victims, their relatives, and the general public in person. It is unfortunate and tragic. It did, however, occur. The most important things are: how we proceed, what we take away from this, and the precise actions that must be taken, Ribadu emphasised. He lauded the leadership and maturity shown by Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani in responding to the tragedy, especially in coordinating the distribution of relief supplies and other necessities to the victims. Senator Abdul Ningi and the other senators from the north paid a visit to Governor Sani to offer their condolences following the bombing. In spite of their shock and sadness, the senators were quick to praise the government for its efforts to combat terrorism and banditry in the North Central and North West geographical zones. Additionally, they are pleading with Nigerians to set aside their feelings and let the government conduct a comprehensive investigation into the occurrence in order to prevent it from happening again.
