We, at #Prayer & Support4NigerianArmedForces, & other security agencies strongly condemn the recent terrorist attack on a military base in Malam-Fatori, Borno State. This senseless act of violence, which resulted in the loss of at least 20 brave Nigerian soldiers, is a stark reminder of the dangers our security agents face daily.
The attack, which occurred on Sunday night, was a cowardly act of terrorism that has left many families in mourning. We pray for the speedy recovery of those injured in the attack. Our hearts go out to the families of the fallen soldiers, who have lost their loved ones in the line of duty.
Terrorist groups, specifically Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Boko Haram, have been wreaking havoc in Nigeria, targeting security forces and civilians. These groups have shown no regard for human life, and their actions have caused widespread destruction and displacement.
We commend the bravery and resilience of our military personnel who fought off the attackers and inflicted significant losses on the terrorists.
The attack is a grim reminder of the ongoing security challenges in Borno State where Boko Haram and ISWAP have been active for over a decade. We call on our leaders to prioritize the welfare and safety of our security agents and citizens over personal interests.
We urge Nigerians to rise up and demand justice, accountability, and an end to these senseless killings. Let us stand together in support of our armed forces and security agencies as they continue to fight against terrorism and insecurity in our nation.
The sacrifice of our brave security agents and innocent citizens must not be in vain. We owe it to ourselves, our children, and future generations to fight for a Nigeria where leaders prioritize the people’s welfare over personal interests.
The time for change is now. Let us rise up and demand justice from our different standing points. Let us call for an end to these senseless killings. Whoever keeps silent will have his/her day with posterity!
We pray for the families of the fallen soldiers, for divine comfort, and for peace to reign in our dear nation Nigeria. If peace is established, these unwarranted killings will cease, and Nigeria will become a better place to live.
The Nigerian military remains committed to defeating the terrorists and securing the region. We stand in solidarity with our security agencies and commend their bravery and dedication to protecting our nation.
We condemn the brutal indifference of leaders who turned a blind eye to the plights of our security agents. These leaders, driven by selfish ambition and a lust for power, prioritized their own interests over the lives and welfare of security agents and Nigerians alike.
The lives of Nigerians are mere pawns in their game of power, and their greatest concern is maintaining their grip on authority, no matter the cost. We demand accountability from our leaders and call for an end to these senseless killings.
Let us stand together and demand a better future for Nigeria, where our security agents can serve without fear of attack, and our citizens can live without fear of terrorism.
The government must sit up and address these senseless killings. They must look within and fish out the saboteurs and sponsors of these terrorist groups. It’s time for our leaders to take responsibility for the security of our nation and its citizens.
We call on the government to take concrete actions to address the root causes of terrorism in our nation. This includes addressing poverty, inequality, and corruption, which have contributed to the rise of terrorism in our country.
The people demand answers. Why have these terrorist groups been able to operate with such impunity? Why have our security agencies been unable to prevent these attacks? The government must provide answers to these questions and take action to address the security challenges in our nation.
Let us rise up and demand justice, accountability, and transparency from our leaders. Let us stand together and fight for a Nigeria where our security agents are valued and supported, and our citizens can live without fear of terrorism .
