President Bola Tinubu has extended his heartfelt sympathy to the military authorities and families of the six brave soldiers who lost their lives during a dawn terrorist attack on January 4, 2025, on an army base in Sabon Gida, Damboa, Borno State. In a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu commends the armed forces for their swift and decisive response to the attack. Bayo Onanuga stated that the President calls for a thorough investigation to uncover the circumstances that led to the unfortunate incident and ensure that it serves as a valuable lesson to prevent similar occurrences. Onanuga added that President Tinubu praises the targeted air raids launched by the air component, which resulted in the significant neutralisation of numerous terrorists and the destruction of their assets as they attempted to flee. President Tinubu remarks: “This resolute action by the Army demonstrates the capability and readiness of our military to confront and defeat threats to our nation’s security. Their actions testify to our resolve to eradicate terrorism and banditry, paving the way for a future where peace and security prevail for all Nigerians.” Furthermore, President Tinubu urges the military to proactively take the war to the camps of bandits and terrorists, particularly in the Northwest, where these criminals continue to threaten the lives and homes of innocent villagers. Onanuga noted that the President also appeals to Nigerians and the media to support the military’s efforts to restore peace and security in the country.
