Really sad😢

Treat your country men like fellow citizens and all this rubbish would not repeat itself.

Too many of them have died in the Niger delta all because of avoidable events.

And soldiers burning villages and houses in retaliation all the time is only normal in the south , I don't think it's right.

You are creating more dissent for yourself.

Rip to the dead soldiers, and civilian victims

Our condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers and we hope that the perpetrators will meet swift justice

Chaii..

Look at what Gumi boys have done to our soldiers.

Army please hurry up and kill all criminals in that area

This is not the best time to offend any officer of the Nigerian army.

So sad to lose young and promising soldiers in that manner at once.

🤕

Rest in peace to our fallen heroes .....

Anyone that post rubbish on this thread...deserve to be Ban for life
