The governor, through his chief press secretary, Ibrahim Mohammed Kaula, conveyed heartfelt condolences to the people and government of Kaduna State, as well as the families of the victims affected by the unfortunate incident.
He underscored the urgency of learning from the incident to prevent its recurrence, emphasizing that the military should have meticulously analyzed credible intelligence regarding terrorist movements before launching the brutal aerial assault.

Standing in solidarity with the victims and their distressed families on behalf of Katsina State, he implored the federal government and military hierarchy to conduct a comprehensive probe into the miscalculated airstrike.
