Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in 2023, Peter Obi, has joined calls for an investigation into the recent accidental military air strike at Tudun Biri village in the Igabi local government area of Kaduna State.
He also called on the federal
government to provide adequate funding for the military and other security
agencies in order to enhance their operations.
Obi made these statements when
he visited the victims at the Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital in the state
capital yesterday.
He lamented that the country
has so far recorded 16 accidental military bombings that claimed over 500
lives, with nothing being done by the federal government to avert recurrence of
such tragedies.
The former Anambra State
governor, however, underscored the need for the government to support the military
to ensure that incidents like accidental bombings do not happen again.
Obi noted that adequate funding
for the military is key in tackling the contemporary and emerging security
challenges confronting the nation.
