The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Christopher Musa, has called on all commanders and troops across the country to go after bandits that killed our soldiers and continue to terrorize the nation.
Musa made this call on Friday in Abuja, at the burial of military personnel who died recently in combat and in the Niger air crash.
The Defence Chief, who expressed sadness at having to bury his officers and soldiers, vowed that the military would hunt down and bring to justice all terrorists, bandits, and enemies of the state.
“But I want to assure their families that their deaths are not in vain. We appreciate them. We pray for them. We will ensure that those who did this must pay for it.
“I use this opportunity to call all commanders and all troops all over Nigeria to avenge this. Those that did this and those that have continued to kill our men wherever they are, we will get them out.”
He further said that, “We stand here today to honour their courage, dedication, and unwavering commitment to duty. Their lives were abruptly taken from us in the line of duty while responding to a distress call in the Chukuba community in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger.”
He then assured the families of the deceased that the military would stand with them in their grief and would continue to support them during this difficult time.
