Two personnel of the Nigerian Army are facing a court martial in respect of the bombing incident at Tudun Biri in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The Defence Headquarters Director of Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, disclosed this while briefing newsmen on the operations of the Armed Forces in Abuja on Thursday, May 2, 2024.
It would be recalled that 85 people were “mistakenly” killed in military drone attacks in Tudun Biri on December 3, 2023.
Buba said the military would punish personnel found culpable in the incident, adding that an investigation was conducted and concluded with a resolve to ensure that the soldiers involved were brought to book and justice served for the victims of the bombing in Kaduna State.

The defence spokesman 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.
“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.”
