The military high command revealed on Thursday that no fewer than three officers and 22 soldiers were killed during the Sunday bandits’ ambush on troops in Niger State.
Gabkwet noted that there was nothing to be ashamed of in the accidents recorded during operations.
Gabkwet, who decried the attitude exhibited by some Nigerians over military mishaps, called on the citizens to support the military in its efforts to rid the country of criminal elements. Meanwhile, DHQ also said a total of 28 terrorists were killed and 114 criminals arrested by troops during operations across the country between August 7 and 17.
Buba said, “Troops also rescued 82 kidnapped hostages and denied oil thieves the sum of N876,451,800.00 only.”
