The former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has said he’s heartbroken by the news of the attack on a military base in the Marte Local Government Area of Borno State on Monday, which resulted in the loss of courageous soldiers.

Atiku, who on Social media platforms Tuesday expressed sadness over this barbaric attack said the Soldiers bravery and sacrifice in the face of terror will always be remembered.

According to him, “I am heartbroken by the news of the attack on a military base in the Marte Local Government Area of Borno State, which resulted in the loss of our courageous soldiers.
“Their bravery and sacrifice in the face of terror will always be remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with their families and other service men and women.

“We must take more decisive actions that will not just scale down the aggression by militants, but also promote economy that gives hope to our young ones and restore peace to our country”, he said.

Report has it that suspected Boko Haram insurgents launched a deadly assault on a military base in Marte Local Govt Area of Borno State early Monday morning, killing five Nigerian soldiers in a surprise attack.
Military sources revealed that the terrorists stormed the Forward Operating Base at dawn, catching the troops off guard. The ensuing firefight lasted nearly an hour before the insurgents overran the base.

Meanwhile, the Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has strongly condemned the recent spate of attacks by Boko Haram and ISWAP in various parts of the state, including Maiduguri-Damboa Road, Marte, Chibok, Gwoza, Kala Balge, and other affected communities.

Governor Zulum expressed his heartfelt sympathy to the families of all victims affected by the tragic incidents, which included an improvised explosive device (IED) attack along the Maiduguri-Damboa Road.
The explosion, which occurred on 12 May, claimed the lives of two staff members of the Damboa Local Education Authority who were en route to Maiduguri to sit for the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) examination.

Several members of the armed forces and innocent civilians have also lost their lives in the recent wave of violence.

In a statement by his spokesperson, Mr Dauda Iliya, the Governor reaffirmed the state government’s unwavering commitment to working closely with the Federal Government, military, and other security agencies to contain the security challenges.

“These acts of terror are deeply condemnable. The recent tragic loss of our education staff, gallant troops, and innocent civilians is a painful reminder of the challenges we continue to face,” Governor Zulum stated.
“I am more determined than ever to support the military, security agencies, and our volunteer forces in the fight to end terrorism and insurgency in our state.”

Governor Zulum recalled his recent visit to Gwoza, where he engaged with military personnel and the Izge community, as part of ongoing efforts to reinforce resilience and ensure the protection of lives and property.

“The recent surge in attacks will not deter our resolve to tackle the scourge of the 16-year-long insurgency. I urge the people of Borno to remain resilient and prayerful. This is a partial eclipse — and we shall overcome it, Insha Allah,” the Governor assured.

Governor Zulum concluded by extending his thoughts and prayers to the families of the fallen heroes, innocent civilians, and all citizens of Borno State during this difficult period.
