The military drone attack in Kaduna State on November 3 that claimed the lives of over 80 Nigerians will be investigated, according to the House of Representatives.

While expressing regret for the unpleasant situation, he charged the Nigerian Army and other security services with making civilian safety their first priority while conducting operations.


He asked them to proceed with extreme caution and to take action to stop such incidents from happening again.

"After the unintentional airstrike, we would like to acknowledge the Nigerian Army's prompt admission of responsibility."


He expressed gratitude to all the parties involved who were instrumental in easing the victims' agony.


According to him, the episode proved how important it is for military personnel to operate with prudence and accuracy, especially when they are in areas where civilians reside.


According to him, the committee recognized the difficulties the Nigerian Armed Forces face in maintaining security and combating various threats around the nation.


In the service of the country, he praised the commitment and sacrifices made by the armed forces and other security services.


"The public's unwavering support of our troops is still vital, given the complexity of the security environment in which they operate.
