Islamic Movement Seek Prosecution Of Army Officers Involved In Kaduna Bombing
The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), on Monday, protested against the “accidental” bombing by the Nigerian Army at Tudun Biri village in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Daily Trust reports that the incident which claimed over 85 villagers and injured several others, has been widely condemned.
The IMN protest, which kicked off from the traffic before the Public Complaints Commission (PCC), Maitama, Abuja, terminated at the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), where a petition was submitted to the commission.
The letter dated December 11, 2023, was signed by Sheikh Sidi Munir Mainasara Sokoto, a member of the movement, and addressed to Anthony Ojukwu, Executive Secretary of NHRC.
The group called on Onukwu to pressure the federal government to immediately investigate and prosecute the officers involved.
The Islamic movement said the claim by the Nigerian Army that the incident was a mistake is unacceptable, adding: “This is not the first of its kind.”
The group said, “All people of conscience should come out publicly to condemn these atrocities and demand justice for the people of Tudun Biri".
