The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has assured Nigerians that the military will learn from the tragic incident of civilian bombing in Kaduna and enhance its operational processes. Major General Edward Buba, Director of the Defence Media Operations, expressed regret over the incident and pledged that the Nigerian military would conduct its operations in accordance with international laws and rules of engagement.

Addressing the media in Abuja, Buba dismissed suggestions that a lack of inter-service synergy led to the mishap, emphasizing that military operations across the country involve joint efforts from the Army, Navy, and Air Force. He acknowledged the need for improved protocols and processes to minimize future occurrences.

Regarding the casualties, Buba mentioned that records from the community reported 81 deaths, with about 70 individuals receiving treatment at the hospital.
