President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised appropriate punishment for all those found culpable of the claimed ‘error’ bombings in Tudun Biri village that killed over 90 villagers in Kaduna State.
Assuring the nation that whoever is found guilty would not go unpunished, President Tinubu also said all the victims would be well taken care of under the Folako Initiative which is set to flag off later this month.
The President, who spoke through Vice President Kashim Shattima, made the promise on Thursday shortly after visiting the victims at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital to sympathise with them over the unfortunate incident.
He further promised that the community would be the first to be rebuilt under the new Folako initiative, adding that the federal government remained committed to the fight against banditry across the region.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sent us to commensurate with the people of Kaduna over the tragic incident. The calibre of people that are here with me is a testimony to how deeply touched the president was by the incident.
“The President was deeply touched by what happened. We would like to assure the people and government of Kaduna State that the government will take measures to protect and preserve the interests of our nation.
“The victims will be well taken care of under the Fulako Initiative which will commence by this month and this community will be the first to be rebuilt in the northwest zone.
“All measures will be taken to ensure that future occurrence is averted. The government will get to the root of the issue and anyone found culpable will be punished accordingly,” the Vice President assured.
