Killing of Soldiers: Senate Seeks Service Chiefs Resignation

BY SEYIFUNMI LUMEKO
The Senate on Tuesday for the second time this year is calling for the resignation of all service chiefs over the mass resignation of soldiers and the recent killing of Nigerian soldiers.
They said while the Senate appreciates the sacrifices being made by members of the Armed Forces in the fight against insurgency, it is, however, concerned about the negative effects of the killings on the war against insurgency, especially the reported mass resignation of over 200 soldiers fighting in the frontlines.

In the Senate deliberations, they also resolved that the top hierarchy of the military should brief its relevant committees on the factors militating against the operations of the military to find a way forward.

It was further agreed by the Senate to observe a minute silence to honour soldiers and members of other security agencies that have lost their lives during their fight against insurgency so far.

He said that 19 soldiers were wounded while nine others were reported missing during the attack by insurgents.

Ndume further lamented that another 20 soldiers were killed during a similar ambush in Kachina while others were wounded.
