Buni commiserates with fallen heroes’ families
Predicting end to terrorism, Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has pledged the cooperation of governors with the military towards ending the activities of bandits and terrorists across the country.

Sani made the pledge at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna, yesterday, when he laid the wreath in honour of the country’s fallen heroes to mark the Armed Forces Remembrance Day.

While reacting to cases of banditry and attacks reported recently in Kaduna and parts of Abuja, the governor noted, with dismay, that the fight against terrorism had, in recent weeks, suffered setbacks.

He, however, expressed confidence that the Armed Forces would live up to expectations by ending banditry in the country.

Speaking with Journalists after the ceremony, which had in attendance commanders and commandants of military commands and formations in Kaduna, Sani said: “The country will never forget fallen heroes, who fought and died in defence of Nigeria’s territorial integrity”.

“Today’s event offers us the opportunity to honour our veterans. It also gives us the opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices, bravery, and commitment of our fallen heroes, who lost their lives in the defence of our territorial integrity. We must appreciate our armed forces generally and other security agencies in Nigeria for their efforts in trying to ensure that we have peace.”

The governor, after laying the wreath, visited wounded soldiers at the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Hospital, Kaduna, and 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, where he donated medical equipment and other items like wheelchairs, blankets and other medical supplies to the hospitals.

YOBE State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has commiserated with families of the fallen heroes that participated in ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the state.

According to him, the fallen heroes paid the supreme price and made other sacrifices to ensure peace and unity in the country.

Buni spoke, yesterday, in Damaturu, after laying a wreath to mark the Armed Forces Remembrance Day (AFRD) at Government House, Damaturu.

“Today’s event is to honour the military fallen heroes, veterans and legions, who paid the supreme price for peace and unity in the state. We expect more patriotism, nationalism to ensure that peace reigns in Yobe,” he stated.

Prayers were offered by Muslims and Christians for the fallen heroes and their families
