President Bola Tinubu has offered scholarships to the children of the 17 soldiers who were murdered in the Okuama community, Bomadi LGA in Delta state.
The president also granted posthumous national honours to the soldiers who lost their lives.
Tinubu disclosed this in a speech on Wednesday while attending the burial of the late soldiers at the military cemetery in Abuja.
He referred to the deceased soldiers as “patriots, brave and noble men,” emphasizing that they died protecting and defending Nigeria against various threats, and assured that their sacrifices would be commemorated and respected for generations.
In addition, the president vowed to apprehend the culprits responsible for the gruesome murder of the servicemen, adding that they will not go unpunished.
The president added that the elders of the community should assist government in fishing out the culprits.
Last Thursday, in Okuama, Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta, a tragic event occurred where seventeen military personnel were killed.
