UPDATED: Six Soldiers Confirmed Dead in Borno Attack, Tinubu Sends Heartfelt Condolences

President Tinubu has expressed his profound sympathy to the military authorities following the loss of six brave soldiers during a dawn terrorist attack on January 4, 2025, on an army base in Sabon Gida, Damboa, Borno State.

 

The President extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers, whose sacrifice in defending our nation will forever be honoured and remembered.

 

In the wake of this tragic event, Tinubu called for a thorough investigation to uncover the circumstances that led to the unfortunate incident and ensure that it serves as a valuable lesson to prevent similar occurrences.

 

He commended the armed forces for their swift and decisive response, particularly the air component, in launching effective retaliatory strikes. The targeted air raids resulted in the significant neutralisation of numerous terrorists and the destruction of their assets as they attempted to flee.

 

Tinubu remarked “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.”

 

Moreover, he urged the military to proactively take the war to the camps of bandits and terrorists. He particularly emphasised the Northwest, where these criminals continue to threaten the lives and homes of innocent villagers.

 

In the same vein, President Tinubu appealed to Nigerians and the media to support the military’s efforts to restore peace and security in our beloved nation.
