Family members of soldiers killed during recent battles against insurgents in the North-East have mourned the death of their loved ones, urging the government to put an end to the bloodbath in the region.
The relatives, who spoke in separate interviews, called on the Federal Government to demonstrate genuine commitment to the fight against insurgency by providing adequate arms and ammunition, improving the welfare of military personnel, and caring for the families of fallen soldiers.
The reaction followed Monday’s attack on a military base in Marte, Borno State, which claimed the lives of five soldiers.
