Vice President Kashim Shettima has extended condolences to the Nigerian Army and the Borno State Government following recent attacks that claimed the lives of military personnel.
Shettima delivered the message on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during a visit to Maiduguri on Saturday, where he paid tribute to the fallen soldiers and acknowledged the sacrifices of the armed forces in safeguarding the nation.
“These men wore the uniform for all of us. They stood to protect our communities, our families, and the future of our children. Their courage reminds us that peace and security often come at a very heavy cost,” the Vice President said.
He assured both the military and residents of Borno State of the Federal Government’s continued support in the fight against insecurity, stressing that those responsible for the attacks would not escape justice.
According to him, the administration remains committed to strengthening national security and ensuring that criminal elements have no safe haven under President Tinubu’s leadership.
The visit comes amid renewed security concerns in the North-East, where troops continue operations against insurgent groups.
