Recent reports from DAILY POST reveal that in the last few years, more than 300 civilians, including women and children, have tragically lost their lives in unintended bombings carried out by the Nigerian military.

The gravity of the situation was further highlighted by a recent drone bombing error in Tudun Biri, Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The incident, which occurred last week during the celebration of an Islamic festival, led to nationwide outcry as at least 120 innocent residents lost their lives.

In response to this tragedy, all 109 senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria demonstrated solidarity by donating their December salaries to support the victims. Senator Barau I. Jibrin, Deputy President of the Senate, made this announcement during a visit to the Kaduna State Government House, where a high-power delegation of the Senate expressed their condolences.

Chairman of Alliance on Surviving COVID-19 and Beyond (ASCAB), Femi Falana, expressed concern over the lack of justice for victims of these airstrikes over the years. Falana specifically referenced the Rann bombing incident of January 2017, where the government established a commission tasked with reviewing rules of engagement within the Nigerian armed forces. The commission, headed by Justice Biobell Georgewill of the Court of Appeal, was mandated to assess compliance with existing rules and suggest preventive measures against violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws.

Despite the establishment of this commission, Falana raised questions about the Federal Government’s failure to publish the report or implement the recommendations. The looming legal action serves as a potent reminder of the imperative to address the grievances of those affected by military airstrikes and to uphold justice for the victims.
