The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has lamented the killing of villagers in an accident bombing of Tundun Biri village in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that not less than 30 people lost their lives in the incident, which occurred on Sunday night during the celebration of Maulud in the village.
In a statement on Tuesday via his official X handle, Obi said any incident that leads to harm or loss of lives of the innocent people they are meant to protect should be avoided.
The former Governor of Anambra State, who said the bombing mishap is highly regrettable, asked the military to exercise utmost caution and professionalism to avoid this kind of embarrassment to both the military and the country.
