Reactions as 10 Soldiers on Operation Found Dead In Benue State
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A Nigerian Army troop comprising of ten soldiers and one officer on operation who were intially declared missing have been confirmed dead by the Nigerian Army (NA) on Thursday.

It was reported that the Nigerian Army troop were on routine operational task in Benue State when they came under attack.

According to a release by the Nigerian Army signed by the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima, the announcement of the missing troop prompted the deployment of a joint search and rescue team comprising NA troops and personnel of Operation Whirl Stroke.

Sadly, all the members of the missing troop were found dead.

“The search and rescue team unfortunately found all the missing troops dead in Konshisha LGA of Benue State. While the bodies of the slain troops were evacuated immediately, efforts are ongoing to track down the perpetrators of this heinous crime with a view to bringing them to Justice.

“The NA under the leadership of the COAS Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru remains resolute in ensuring stability in Benue State as well as other parts of the country that are affected by the activities of criminal gangs. The NA remains determined to ensure that this unprovoked attack does not disrupt the general peace being enjoyed by the local inhabitants.

“The COAS has therefore directed commanders on the ground to ensure sustained efforts in order to fish out and deal decisively with these bad elements who are threatening the peace in the area.” He stated.

In addition, the NA appealled to the public to volunteer useful information that will lead to the arrest of the perpetrators of this dastardly act.

Recall that Benue State which was a hot bed for violent clashes has been enjoying relative peace following the successes achieved by the various security agencies who have been working tirelessly to safeguard law abiding citizens and ensure they go about their legitimate business without fear of harassment by criminals.

This unfortunate incident have however sparked different reactions on social media. Here are some of them:

When citizens start attacking it's own military, You for know say water don pass garri. Even a goat when pushed to the wall fights back how much more all the millions of innocent Nigerian lives you guys have wasted? The law of cause and effect still holds true. Expect it.

I will like to see the NA express this anger on terrorists bandits and kidnappers

What happened to intelligence gathering? What happened to rules of engagement?

2)this same Nigerian military fought for peace in Sierra Leone… Liberia..this same Nigeria army wins.. awards in the UN missions…today the story is different..our nation's military is been pushed hard by a rag tag Boko Haram group…is time for the NA stand to it true calling

The military stabilize in war zones no? Condolences for the lives that were lost. But it's hard to believe it's unprovoked attack
It's you @HQNigerianArmy trigger happy people that see Nigerians as your subject and target practice. Your men probably started the violence in Benue

— Nas (@AlheriNassir) April 9, 2021

The only time you see strength is when the Military attack innocent civilians. Against Bokoharam, Bandits, and UGM, the army is lame without ideas and suffer huge collateral damage. The Military must review its operation especially as it concerns the general public.
