Following the ongoing investigation into the drone mishap in Tudun Biri, Kaduna State, which allegedly claimed over 149 people with others injured, the House of Representatives Northern Regional caucus under the leadership of Hon. Ado Doguwa has donated 45 million to families of the victims.

The caucus made the pledge during their state visit to governor, Senator Uba Sani, Monday.

While describing the Tudun Biri mishap as regrettable and of deep concern, the Reps commended the Federal, Government, FG for not only instituting a probe into the unfortunate incident but also taking immediate action to bring relief to the families of the victims.

The governor in his remarks thanked the Northern Caucus for their visit and expressed delight at their emphasis on thorough investigation into the Tudun Biri incident.

His words, “I received in the audience today a powerful delegation of the Northern Regional Caucus of the House of Representatives under the leadership of Hon. Ado Doguwa, who were in Sir Kashim Ibrahim House to condole the government and people of Kaduna State over the unfortunate Tudun Biri military drone attack.

“Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa described the Tudun Biri incident as regrettable and of deep concern to the House of Representatives. The Caucus joined the call for thorough investigation into the incident and commended the federal government for not only instituting a probe into the unfortunate incident but taking immediate action to bring relief to the families of the victims and firmly committed to rebuilding Tudun Biri Community.

“The House of Representatives, he said, will follow up on the commitments of the federal government to ensure their full and speedy implementation.

“Hon. Ado Doguwa commended my exemplary leadership in Kaduna State, especially our efforts in rebuilding trust and promoting peace.

“The Northern Regional Caucus donated the sum of N45 Million Naira to the families of the victims of the unfortunate incident. He also announced the decision of the leadership and members of the House of the House of Representatives to build blocks of classrooms, maternity clinic, community hall, solar powered boreholes and access roads in Tudun Biri Community. The House of Representatives project in Tudun Biri village will cost about N400 Million.

“In my brief remarks, I thanked the Northern Caucus for their visit and expressed delight at their emphasis on thorough investigation into the Tudun Biri incident. We must get to the root of this tragic incident. There was a similar incident in the past and nothing was done. It is heartwarming that the Federal Government has given a commitment to thoroughly investigate the incident.

“The National Assembly must take a critical look at the laws on security. Most of the laws are obsolete. We must update them to align with global best practices. At the moment there is no synergy between the federal and state governments on security. We are Chief Security Officers but have no operational control over security forces in our states.

” We must therefore seize the opportunity offered by the constitutional review process to create State Police. State Police would be more effective in intelligence gathering and will prevent the recurrence of tragic incidents like the unfortunate Tudun Biri military drone attack.”
