Kaduna Bombing: Deceased’s Families, Survivors Deny Court Action Against FG
The families of deceased persons arising from the bombing attack in Kaduna State have denied suing the Federal Government and demanding N33 billion in compensation.
The deceased’s families also urges the security agents to hunt down the fraudulent lawyer who took the FG to court and ensure he gets prosecuted.
Speaking with journalists after a thank-you visit to Governor Uba Sani at Sir Kashim House, Kaduna, the community leaders, including traditional and clerics, disowned what they described as a “fake, mischievous media statement” where it was stated that families of the unfortunate incident have sued the Federal Government on behalf of the deceased persons’ families.
The lawyer who issued the statement according to them was on a hatchet job and on a mission to defraud.
The Chief Imam of the village, traditional rulers, and Muslim and Christian leaders, in their separate responses, denied ever assigning a lawyer to demand compensation.
They maintained that they were comfortable with the assurance of intervention by the Federal Government through the PULAKU programme.
Hashim Jafar, the Chief Imam of Tudun Biri, said, “We are here to inform the government that we appreciate their effort at ensuring the quick recovery of the victims in the hospital and their support to the families and the Tudun Biri.
“We did not send anybody to sue anyone; whoever is behind it does not have our backing.
Pastor Musa Saidu, said they came to express their gratitude to Governor Uba Sani for his support to the people over the unfortunate bomb incident.
“Collectively, the Christians and the Muslims in Tudun Biri have no idea about any court issue.”
