It is with heavy heart that I join you today to commit to earth, the remains of our officers and men who died in the course of duty on 14 March 2024 in Okuama Community, They went as peacemakers and peacekeepers respectfully seeking to bring an end to the hostilities between the two communities.Before the dastardly attack, Lt. Colonel Ali, as the Chief of Army Staff briefed me, enjoyed great operational exploits; fighting terrorists and insurgents in the North-east and North-west before his deployment to the Niger Delta.On behalf of a grateful nation, we honour the sacrifice of Ali and the other gallant patriots who died that day.

While we continue to grieve for the courageous men we lost that day, let us also, on this solemn occasion, be reminded of the unfinished business of working for peace and harmony in our communities. The elders and chiefs of Okuoma also have a duty to help the military in fishing out the gunmen who committed the barbaric crime against our men.

The Federal Government has also approved scholarships to all the children of the deceased up to the University level.
