The Nigerian Army has arraigned 12 personnel in a military court over the bombing incident at Tudun Biri in Kaduna State.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj-Gen. Edward Buba, disclosed this to journalists on Thursday in Abuja.
At least 85 civilians were mistakenly killed in military drone attacks in Tudun Biri, Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State on December 3, 2023.
Buba said that the military would punish personnel found culpable in the incident, adding that an investigation was conducted and concluded with a resolve to ensure that the personnel involved were brought to book and justice served for the victims.
The spokesman said: “The military has conducted a painstaking investigation into the incident and has initiated disciplinary action against those culpable.
“Accordingly, the affected personnel are to face a court martial for acts of omission or commission concerning the incident.
“I am however constrained not to speak much about the incident as it would be adjudged as prejudicial being a case before the court martial.
“The military will take extra precautions in the future to ensure that non-combatants are safe.”
