President Bola Tinubu has said he will soon make further pronouncements on the recent dastardly killing of soldiers on national duty in Delta State.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports President Tinubu made this known at the breaking of Ramadan fast with Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and the leadership of the House on Wednesday in Abuja.
Recall 16 military personnel were killed during a communal clash in Delta State last Thursday. The personnel met their death reportedly during a rescue mission in a clash between Okuama and Okoloba communities in the State.
Tinubu while expressing his heartfelt condolences to the families of the bereaved, pledged that the sacrifices of the fallen heroes would never be in vain.
“In responding to distress calls, they met the end of their lives in a savage manner. Let us work to sympathize and symbolize the fact that they are worth the sacrifices they have made for Nigeria.
“We salute all our men and women in uniform, and we sympathize with them. I will soon make further pronouncements, but they must have a befitting burial and national honours,” the President said.
Meanwhile, the State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori has assured that no innocent citizen will suffer from the outcome of March 14 killing of soldiers and that those culpable would be brought to book.
