President Bola Tinubu has disclosed that the soldiers killed in Delta State while on a peace mission will be given befitting burial and conferred with national honours.
President Tinubu made the disclosure during the breaking of the Ramadan fast with leadership of the House of Representatives on Wednesday in Abuja.
Recall that about 16 soldiers on a peacekeeping mission were killed by militants, reportedly in Okuama community last week.
“I will soon make further pronouncements. They must have a befitting burial and they must have national honour,” Tinubu said.
The President also urged the legislators not to forget their constituencies and to take advantage of the Holy month of Ramadan to show compassion and support the less privileged in society.
