The event was attended by the Minister of Defence, Muhammed Badaru; Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle; Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa; service chiefs, families and well-wishers of the fallen heroes.
The Governors of Kaduna and Niger States were represented at the funeral.
The event involved laying a wreath by the two ministers and presenting the National Flag to the next-of-kin of the deceased personnel by the CDS and service chiefs.
