Kaduna Bombings: Army court-martial 12 soldiers for killing 85 civilians
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has said that 12 soldiers of the Nigerian Army are currently facing court martial in respect of the bombing tragedy at Tundun Biri in Kaduna State.
The DHQ spokesman, Edward Buba, said this while briefing journalists on Thursday in Abuja on the armed forces’ operations.
Eighty-five civilians were on December 3, 2023, mistakenly killed in military drone attacks in Tudun Biri, Igabi LGA of Kaduna State.
Buba said the military would punish personnel found culpable in the bombing, adding that an investigation was conducted and concluded with a resolve to ensure that the personnel involved were punished.
He said, “The military has conducted a painstaking investigation into the incident and has initiated disciplinary action against those culpable. Accordingly, the affected personnel are to face a court martial for acts of omission or commission with respect to the incident.”
Buba added, “I am, however, constrained not to speak much about the incident as it would be adjudged as prejudicial being a case before court martial.
“The military will take extra precautions in the future to ensure that non combatants are safe.”
