The Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai has condoled the families of two Nigerian Army and Navy personnel who paid the supreme price while defending students of Bethel Baptist High School, Kaduna.
The two personnel, Private Salisu Rabiu
and Ordinary Seaman Bilal Mohammed lost their lives while engaging the bandits
who attacked the school and kidnapped an unspecified number of students in the
early hours of Monday, 5th July 2021.
The Governor said that the duo of Rabiu
and Mohammed are heroes who lost their lives while engaging outlaws who
represent the worst of humanity.
He added that their lives would not go
in vain as the victory of evil men is only temporary, but their retribution
permanent.
The Governor who prayed for the repose
of their souls said troops and all security personnel on the frontlines deserve
solidarity, motivation and gratitude, instead of condemnation.
He described negative comments against
security personnel as a most unfortunate display of ingratitude in view of
their sacrifices and patriotism.
The Governor has on behalf of the
government and people of Kaduna State offered financial assistance to their
immediate families.
Samuel Aruwan, the Commissioner Internal Security and Home Affairs represented Governor El-Rufai at the funeral of Seaman Mohammed at Ungwan Kanawa Cemetery, Kaduna North LGA. Prayers were offered for Private Rabiu at the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital's mortuary before his remains were taken to Daura, Katsina State for final interment.
