President Tinubu has ordered a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the dawn attack on an army base in Sabon Gidan, Damboa, which occurred last Saturday and led to the loss of six brave soldiers.
While sympathizing with the military over the loss, President Tinubu directed the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident, ensuring that it serves as a lesson to prevent the same thing from happening in the future.
The President praised the armed forces for their fast and decisive response, most especially the air component. The targeted air raids led to the significant neutralization of many terrorists and the destruction of their assets when they attempted to flee.
President Tinubu urged the military to take the war to the camps of bandits and terrorists, with particular emphasis on the North West, where these criminals continue to threaten the lives and homes of innocent villagers.
“This resolute action by the Army demonstrates the capability and readiness of our military to confront and defeat threats to our nation’s security. Their actions testify to our resolve to eradicate terrorism and banditry, paving the way for a future where peace and security prevail for all Nigerians. I extend heartfelt gratitude and sympathy to our military and security forces on behalf of a grateful nation. Your sacrifices and dedication do not go unnoticed, and we stand firmly behind you in this ongoing fight to eliminate these threats,” Tinubu said.
President Tinubu extended condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers, assuring that the men who sacrificed their lives in defending the nation will forever be honored and remembered. This was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.
