Vice President KASHIM SHETTIMA has assured that the federal Government will punish anyone found culpable in the accidental aerial strike on Tudun Biri village in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The Vice president gave the assurance when he visited the victims of the attack at the Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital in the Kaduna State capital.

Over 85 villagers were killed when the Nigerian Army drone accidentally struck the community on Sunday.

Shortly after visiting the victims at the hospital, SHETTIMA had a meeting with government officials, traditional and religious leaders, where he said President BOLA TINUBU is concerned and will take measures to protect and preserve the interests of the country.

SHETTIMA also commended the leaders for how they have responded to the situation.

The vice president said President TINUBU has promised to rebuild the community, with Tudun Biri being the first to partake in the Folako Initiative, which will be launched soon.

The Ogun State Government has declared a N50 million reward for information leading to the capture of Taiwo Oyekanmi’s assassins, the former director of finance and administration for the state.
On November 29, Oyekanmi, 51, was shot and killed by unidentified assailants as she drove across the Kuto Flyover Bridge in Abeokuta.

In a statement issued on Friday, Tokunbo Talabi, the Secretary to the State Government, announced the N50 million reward and urged the public to come forward with any information that could help with the investigation.

“On November 30, 2023 in Abeokuta, the state’s Director of Finance and Administration, Mr. Taiwo Oyekanmi, was killed. The Ogun State Government has established a reward of N50 million for anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the killers,” Talabi stated.

Talabi included everything. “All supplied information will be handled in the strictest confidence.”

Additionally, he provided a number of phone numbers 08037441955, 08033074371, 08081775020, 08034062773, and 08032136765, where people can leave tips.

As Oyekanmi and the other two were making their way back to the governor’s office, they were allegedly ambushed by armed men. They had recently taken money out of two of Abeokuta’s biggest commercial banks. It’s still unknown why the attack occurred and how much money was taken out.
