The former governor of Anambra paid a visit to the victims on Tuesday, December 12, at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital.
He alleged that there have been sixteen unintentional military bombs in the nation so far, resulting in the deaths of over 500 people.
He added that the federal government has done nothing to stop these disasters from happening again.
To forestall future occurence, the former governor urged the government to assist the armed forces.

He was in favour of the establishment of a foundation to provide for the victims of the Tudun Biri drone assault, especially those who have been left orphaned by the event, and he also backed requests for a probe into the military air strike.
