CDS Musa Makes Fresh Revelation On Kaduna Air Strike

General Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff, has characterized the air strike on Tudun Biri village in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State as regrettable and clarified that it was not an intentional action aimed at the very people the Army is meant to safeguard.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony of participants at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies in Kuru, Plateau State, General Musa underscored that the incident was a regrettable mix-up that could have been prevented.

The recent military mishap resulted in the unfortunate loss of eighty-five lives and left numerous individuals injured, according to official reports.

“The incident in Kaduna is very unfortunate, I have always wanted to mention it, it’s very sad, it shouldn’t have taken place. It was a mistake and it’s because those in charge had a report something was going to happen and they got carried away and then they reacted, it wasn’t on purpose.

“My fear is when we discourage our troops; next time even when the real ones come, they will not want to act because they will say if we do and it’s a mistake, we won’t do anything. So I think we should try and look at this thing dispassionately when incidences occur.

“Nobody in his right minds will wake up and look at people and just burn them without reason, we are all Nigerians, we are meant to protect Nigerians and that is what we are doing. In the course of it we might make mistakes because we are humans but it will never be deliberate.

“So I want to appeal to all of us to firstly pray for Nigeria, pray for our leaders, stand strong, believe in this country, it’s a great and wonderful country we have and we must not let it down,” CDS Musa said.

The graduation ceremony for ninety-seven participants of Senior Executive Course 45 at the Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies took place on Saturday, concluding a ten-month period of intensive research work.

The participants conducted research on “Industrialisation, Energy Security, and Climate Change: Issues, Challenges, and Prospects.” Their findings and recommendations were presented to the president, resulting in approval for the graduation of the participants.

President Bola Tinubu, in an address delivered by the Minister of Transport, Sa’idu Ahmed Alkali, praised the research work and assured that the recommendations would be appropriately implemented.

Prior to the graduation ceremony, a distinguished annual lecture was delivered by Professor Etannibi Alemika, a professor of criminology and sociology of law at the University of Jos. The lecture focused on security challenges and security governance in Nigeria, identifying economic and political decisions as the foundations of insecurity.

The Senior Executive Course at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies involves ten months of research, training, and reflection on national issues affecting the country.
