President Tinubu expresses his profound sympathy to the military authorities following the loss of six brave soldiers during a dawn terrorist attack on January 4, 2025, on an army base in Sabon Gida, Damboa, Borno State.

The President extends his heartfelt condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers, whose sacrifice in defending the nation will forever be honoured and remembered.

Bayo Onanuga Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy) in a Statement said, in the wake of the tragic event, President Tinubu 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 said the President commends the armed forces for their swift and decisive response, particularly the air component, in launching effective retaliatory strikes. The targeted air raids resulted in the significant neutralisation of numerous terrorists and the destruction of their assets as they attempted to flee.

He said President Tinubu urges the military to proactively take the war to the camps of bandits and terrorists. He particularly emphasizes the Northwest, where these criminals continue to threaten the lives and homes of innocent villagers.

According to him, President Tinubu appeals to Nigerians and the media to support the military's efforts to restore peace and security in our beloved nation.
