Kaduna village bombing: Protesters storm N’Assembly, AI threatens suit, deaths reach 127
Protesters stormed the National Assembly on Wednesday to express sadness over the accidental bombing of Tudun Biri in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Sunday night by the Nigerian Army.
It was also gathered that the death toll from the incident had climbed to 127, as Amnesty International threatened to take legal action against the Federal Government if it failed to carry out thorough investigations into the killings.
This came as the United Nations enjoined the military to protect the lives of citizens across the country and reduce the incidents of accidental killings by the armed forces in Nigeria.
An air strike intended to flush out terrorists had on Sunday night accidentally hit civilians during a religious celebration at Tudun Biri.
“The security situation in the country keeps deteriorating since his (Badaru) inception as Minister of Defence.

“Nigeria keeps losing members of the armed forces which include the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, and members of the Nigeria Police Force. Our university students are still in captivity and no one knows their whereabouts. These are the clear indications that the minister is incompetent to handle that sensitive ministry. Therefore, he should wake up to his responsibilities or resign.”
Reacting to the incident on Wednesday, Amnesty International said it was compiling the list of deceased persons and would make it public after the details had been verified.
He said, “For those who have eyes to see, let them see well, and those who have ears to hear, let them listen attentively. Nigeria is not well because Nigerians are being killed day by day.
