The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, disclosed this on Sunday while at the Kaduna Government House along with a high-power delegation of the legislature.
Their visit comes a day after the Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani received a donation of N58 million from the Northern Senators who visited him over the tragic incident.
The situation sparked varying conversations as stakeholders and security experts queried the expertise of the Nigerian Army to execute successful air operations and its intelligence-gathering coordination in fighting insurgents.
Consequently, stakeholders and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), have demanded that the victims be compensated and a thorough and independent investigation be carried out to ascertain the reasons for failed airstrikes by the military.
