In the aftermath of the tragic accidental bombing that claimed the lives of 120 villagers and left several others injured in Tudun Biri village, Kaduna State, public affairs analyst and Northern Elders Forum (NEF) member Prof. Usman Yusuf is demanding accountability and the resignation of top military officials.

Expressing his dismay on a monitored program, Yusuf characterized the incident as "irresponsible," condemning the military for causing harm to the very people they are meant to protect against external threats.

Drawing a stark comparison with global standards, he argued that in other nations, the entire chain of command, including the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), would have tendered resignations in the wake of such a grave accident.

"In other climes, they will all resign; everybody in the chain of command will be fired. The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), everybody will go, and the President will cut his trip short and return home," Yusuf asserted.

Despite the recent appointment of new service chiefs by President Bola Tinubu in June, Yusuf emphasized that accountability should prevail, stating, "All of them should go—the CDS, the Chief of Army Staff, the GOC, the operatives, heads must roll."

In a gesture of acknowledgement, both the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, and the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, visited the families of the deceased victims and those injured in hospitals in Kaduna on Tuesday. However, the calls for accountability and the resignation of top military brass continue to gain momentum as the nation grapples with the aftermath of the devastating accidental bombing.
