Northern governors have donated N180 million to the victims of the Kaduna military drone attack that mistakenly killed over 80 persons and also injured scores.
The nineteen governors from the region donated the amount during their meeting on Friday in Kaduna.
“Your excellencies and colleagues, distinguished members of the press, as you can see, we are presenting our support to the victims of Tundun Biri [accident] and the Kaduna state government to further support them,” the chairman of the Northern Governors’ Forum Inuwa Yahaya said
“On behalf of the Northern Governors’ Forum, we hereby make this donation so that the government of Kaduna State will use it to support the victims,” the Gombe governor said.
He prayed to God Almighty to comfort the victims and the Kaduna State Government over the loss, praying that the souls of those affected rest in peace. The governors also called for adequate compensation for the victims.
Their donation followed a similar one by lawmakers from the region weeks after the incident.
Already, President Bola Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna have ordered a probe into the matter to find the causes of the incident and prevention of the same in the future.
