Barely few days after the alleged mistake committed by operatives of Nigerian Army, all the 109 Nigerian senators have donated their December salaries, in total of N109 million to the victims of the accidental bombing in Tudun Biri, Igabi Local Government Area of the Kaduna State.
It was gathered that the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, announced this at the Kaduna Government House on Saturday, when he led a high-power delegation of the Senate members to the state.
Senator Barau, in a statement by his Special Adviser Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, said the money would be sent to the state governor for onward delivery to the victims.
