The Arewa Action Group for Good Governance has condemned the bombing of unarmed civilians in Tudun Biri, a community within the Igabi local government area of Kaduna state.
The group, in a statement signed by Moses Saleh and made available to the press, accused the Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, of conniving with the Nigerian Army to cause havoc in communities he perceived as against his ethnicity in Kaduna state.
“There are questions surrounding the attack by the Nigerian Army. It is inexcusable that such a blunder could be done. The Nigerian Army is an infantry regiment, and even with some air components and capabilities, it is still suspect that they could mistake a group of worshipers for terrorists. Where is the place of intelligence gathering?”
“If this wasn’t intentional, we wonder what else because a situation where the Nigerian Army would undertake air operations without the involvement of the Nigerian Airforce is suspect, and the result is what is before us. Hundreds of innocent lives have been lost and hundreds of others with varying degrees of injuries.

“We have every doubt that the action of the Nigerian Army is a vendetta mission. There are no two ways about it. On the strength, it happened in a community in Kaduna State, where the Chief of Defence Staff hails from. We understand that some intrigues played out regarding his appointment.”
The group asked the Chief of Defence Staff to come out clean and explain the circumstances that led to the unfortunate incident.
