The Nigerian Army has on Thursday, debunked online media report of the alleged assassination of Col. Sakaba.

The statement further said that the NA acknowledges the emotional agony associated with losing loved ones and that cannot be quantified by any unit of measure. He said It was disheartening “that this gallant officer and some of his men paid the supreme price in the operation and we pray fervently for the repose of their souls. Col Sakaba was a respected senior officer who gave his all in the defence of the freedom we all enjoy today. His demise is a great loss to all of us. Insinuating anything contrary is a deservice to our nation and the sacrifices of our troops.

“All entitlements meant to be paid by the NA have been paid to the NOK through Mrs Oluwaseun Sakaba.” “The only entitlement owed Mrs Oluwaseun Sakaba is the Group Life Assurance which is normally paid by the Insurance Company and which would soon be received along with that of other deceased personnel.
