The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has ordered all military commanders and soldiers to exact revenge for the deaths of their colleagues.
Speaking during the burial of soldiers killed by bandits in Niger State on Friday, the CDS vowed that those responsible for the act will not go unpunished.
His words, “When you have to bury your own, you feel very pained. I want to assure the families that their deaths are not in vain.
“We appreciate them. We will ensure those who did this must pay for this. I use this opportunity to call on all commanders and troops all over Nigeria that we must avenge this. Those who did this and those who continue to kill our men wherever they are we will smoke them out.”
He assured that the military will go after bandits, terrorists, and other criminal groups throughout the country.
Recall that the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) on August 14, announced the death of at least 36 officers who were killed in battle.
The officers’ helicopter was shot down by some insurgents in the Zungeru area of Niger State.
The troops were deployed to Kundu village in Wushishi Local Government Area after bandits terrorized the area recently.
