Killing of 17 Soldiers: Nigerian Army Declares Three-day Mourning

The Nigerian Army has declared a three-day period of mourning for the courageous soldiers recently killed by terrorists in Niger State.

The bloodthirsty criminal elements launched attacks on Kwanar Dutse Mairiga and Boka in Niger State, killing numerous soldiers and leaving others seriously injured.

According to the Nigerian Army Headquarters, scores of the terrorists were also neutralised during the encounter.

In response to the tragic incident, the army, in a terse statement on Thursday, announced a three-day mourning period from June 25 to 27 in honour of the fallen heroes.

The statement, posted on the official Facebook page of the Nigerian Army Headquarters, read: “All Nigerian Army formations and units have been directed to fly the Nigerian Army flag at half-mast.

“During this period, we pay our deepest respects to these fallen heroes and extend our heartfelt condolences to their families and loved ones.

“Their unwavering dedication, valour, and sacrifice in defence of our nation will forever be remembered and cherished.”
