A statement issued on Sunday by Obiora Ifoh, the National Publicity Secretary of the party warned that bombing a target without precision and intel is anachronistic and cannot be deployed in modern warfare.
The Labour Party further observed that even “though the victims have been given a mass burial and both the Federal and state government have sent their condolences to the victims’ families,” certain actions must be undertaken.
While noting that, “A sum of N10 million was given by the military for the support of the burial, we however think that the government must pay adequate compensation to these families.
The president, Bola Tinubu has also ordered an investigation into the incident.
The Senate on Sunday joined their counterparts from the north to donate their December salary to the victim during a condolence visit to the state.
Despite the unfortunate bombing, the Labour Party stressed that it is “very proud of the Nigerian military,” as “they have shown gallantry in the battle against the insurgence, at least within the resources available to them but we certainly frown at a situation where they turn their arms against their own citizenry.”
