Last week, the military disclosed that the officers paid the supreme price during the ambush on the Zungeru-Tegina road and the crash in the Hukuba area of Shiroro, all in Niger State.

Speaking at Military Cemetery, Abuja, where 20 deceased personnel of the armed forces were buried, the Defence Chief said none of those adversaries would go scot-free, saying they would be hunted down by all means.

The deceased, buried at the Cemetery, includes Private Habib Aliyu, who joined the armed forces in 2020; Lance Corporal Nura Mohammed (joined in 2016); AB Suleiman with registration number X/1468; Lance Corporal Sunday Okopi (12NA/65/5192) and 16 others.

According to Daily Trust, speaking after laying oath on their graves and representing national flags to the deceased’s next of kin, Musa said they joined the family members in their griefs, adding that the deaths of their loved ones would not be in vain.

“Those that did this, and those that have continued our men, wherever they are, we will get them out; we will smoke them out, and we will ensure that they never have any other opportunity to kill any other person, that I assure you.”

“We will hunt you down; we will bring you to justice. We will not relent until we get those causing havoc in the country,” the distraught Defence Chief said.
