The Northern Senators also jointly donated the sum of N58million to the community.
According to Governor Uba Sani, the Northern Senators Forum, led by Senator Abdul Ningi, have also joined the call for a thorough investigation into the unfortunate incident and for exemplary punishment to be meted out to those found culpable of the tragic error to serve as a deterrence to others.
Governor Sani disclosed these on his verified X handle (formerly Twitter) on Saturday shortly after the visit.
“I had the honor and privilege of receiving Distinguished Senators of the Federal Republic under the auspices of Northern Senators Forum, who were in Kaduna to condole with the government and people of Kaduna State over the unfortunate Tudun Biri military drone attack.
“They donated the sum of N58 Million to the families of the victims of the unfortunate incident,” he tweeted.
