A group under the auspice of the Arewa Consultative Progressive Forum (ACPF) has expressed dismay over the unfortunate drone attack on a group of people on a Maulud procession at Tudun Biri community, Afaka Ward, near Rigasa, in an Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The National Publicity Secretary of the group Hon. Ahmed Tijjani Mustapha asserted this while speaking to the injured victims of the attack currently receiving treatment at Barau Dikko Specialist Hospital Kaduna yesterday.
According to him, ACPF deeply mourned and hereby condoled all families of the dead.
“ We pray that God Almighty grants the dead peace. We also pray for a quick and full recovery for those injured.
“Efforts must thus be put in place to avert such avoidable loss of lives (and property). Communities in the northern states have enough problems with banditry to have to worry about becoming hapless victims of the misbegotten strategies of those who should be helping to wipe out the scourge of banditry and terrorism.
The Group commended the Kaduna State Government for its quick response to the situation and for coming to the aid of the injured.
ACPF called for an investigation of the incident, to establish what exactly happened, who was involved and how.”
