STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU ON DEATH OF MILITARY OFFICERS IN NIGER STATE

The tragic loss of our gallant officers and soldiers in a helicopter crash at Chukuba Village near Shiroro, Niger State, yesterday, brought immense sadness to me.

These officers and men were answering the call of duty while on an evacuation mission. In their dedicated service to our beloved country, they paid the ultimate price.

While we mourn their untimely departure, we will forever them, not just as servicemen, but as national heroes who gave their all for the peace and security of our country.

They will always be ed as courageous men who did not consider the perils and dangers of their national duty as paramount to their sacred mandate of ensuring that their fellow countrymen and women can live in peace.

We salute their sacrifice, devotion and loyalty to our dear nation - the nation they loved and served to the end.

On behalf of a grateful nation, I extend my condolences to their families, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Air Staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Naval Staff, and the entire Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

May God grant them eternal rest.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu,

President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria

They lay down their lives so others can be in peace. Ironically, some of these others for whom they just paid the supreme price will not waste time to insult them down to their forefathers.

I sometimes wonder if those morons are actually fit to be considered subhumans

May the Almighty reward these fallen heros and grant their loved ones the strength to bear the loss.

Okay, APC is a curse to Nigeria. And it still baffles me that someone who claims to have brain still this evil people after what they have done to Nigeria in past 8yrs.

Until Nigerians leave ethnic and religious sentiment and bring the right people on the thrown. This thing's will continue to happen.

The military and security agencies deserve what is happening to them to some extent cos they help this evil men to commit all this evil again Nigerians

Ordinary bandits are already shooting down our military transport helicopter, how did the bandits acquire surface to air missiles, total intelligence failure, is this how Tinubu plan to invade Niger which even have a professional military?

A sad day for many families losing their fathers, husbands, boyfriends, sons, sugar daddies, friends due to incompetent leadership, condolences to the Nairalander who lost his relative in this unfortunate incident 😢
May the fallen soldiers find eternal peace

Successive government still going around in circles! Suffice to say, those killed might be owed salaries or benefits or so, yet the president is comfortable to mourn.

Thousands were killed in the ongoing fight against insurgency in the north. Still the same rhetoric!
