December 10, (THEWILL) – Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria have donated their one-month salaries to victims of the drone attack that killed over 100 people at Tudun Biri in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Represented by Jibrin Barau, the Deputy Senate President, Akpabio said the Senate was disturbed by the incident and that it would work closely with President Bola Tinubu to unravel the remote causes of the incident.

“In this hour of grief, we are with the people, the bereaved families, and the state government. On behalf of the Senate President, Goodwill Akpabio, and all the 109 Senators, we want to express our heartfelt condolences to them.

Responding, the State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, expressed his pleasure at the prompt visit of both the executives and the legislative arms over the incident.
