Nigerian Army To Bury Soldiers Killed In Delta State

The Nigerian Army has announced plans to bury the soldiers reportedly killed in Delta State. The announcement was made on the Nigerian Army’s X handle on Tuesday, adding that the slain soldiers will be buried in Abuja on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.

President Bola Tinubu is expected to be at the event.

Recall that the soldiers were ambushed and killed while on a peacekeeping mission in Okuama in the Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State on Thursday, March 14.

The unfortunate incident has generated a lot of controversy in the country in the past few days as Tinubu gave the military full authority to bring the killers to justice.

Days later, names and photos of the slain soldiers were released by the Nigerian Army on their X handle.
