Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has condemned the military airstrike that killed many villagers in Tudun Biri village, Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

He stated that those bombs should have been dropped on terrorists and not civilians.<\/p>\n

An unmanned aerial vehicle bombed some parts of the community, killing a yet to ascertained number of individuals while the villagers were marking the Maulud celebration to commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad.<\/p>\n

\u201dA call to the Kaduna village where bombs were dropped on religious worshippers reported that over 150 people were killed. A tragic, horrific and condemnable act. These bombs should be dropped on terrorists and not civilians,\u201d Sani wrote via his X handle on Monday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Kaduna State government said it has received briefings on the attack, explaining that the Army was on a routine mission against terrorists but members of the community were inadvertently affected.<\/p>\n

The government ordered an immediate investigation into circumstances surrounding the airstrike.<\/p>\n

It also directed the immediate evacuation of the injured to the Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital for emergency medical attention.<\/p>\n
