Buhari
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his anguish over the death of several soldiers who were killed in an ambush and a subsequent helicopter crash in Niger.
A statement issued on Saturday by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, quoted him as saying: “I am saddened by the helicopter accident following the tragic ambush in which we have lost our brave army personnel. My thoughts are with the bereaved families. I hope those injured recover at the earliest.
“My heartfelt condolences to the President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Armed Forces of the Federation and the families of the deceased.
“With the soldier discipline in our troops, it is a matter of time before they overcome.”
The military high command had on Thursday confirmed that no fewer than three officers and 22 soldiers were killed during the ambush on troops in Niger.
