ABUJA: The Abuja Family of the #BringBackOurGirls Movement wishes to commend the troops deployed to fight and defeat terrorism in Nigeria. We are proud that our professional officers and men are staking their lives to improve the security of the citizens of our dear country. We thank them most sincerely and wish them God’s protection and success in carrying out their duties.

We are particularly saddened that some of them have lost their lives in the course of the counter insurgency war. Our fallen soldiers have by their commitment and sacrifice enrolled themselves on our list of national heroes. We pray for the repose of their souls and seek peace and comfort of God for their families.

We also remind the Government of our call in the Citizens” Solution to End Terrorism to not only reward them for gallantry but to also provide their families with adequate compensation.

For the officers and men continuing with the combat, we call on them to remain resolute until victory is ours. They have our high esteem and respect.

Signed

Dr ObyEzekwesili                                                    Hadiza Bala Usman
