President Buhari Mourns the Death of Brig. Gen. Zirkusu, others

I am extremely saddened to hear of the demise of Brigadier General Dzarma Zirkusu and three soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice, in a very rare display of gallantry, as they tried to help their compatriots in the war against terrorists.

Nigeria has lost brave soldiers. I salute their courage. May their souls Rest In Peace. General Zirkusu leaves us sad and devastated. The soldier in him will remain immortal.

I have asked the Chief of Army Staff to accept my heartfelt condolences and that of the nation, and to convey same to the members of the families of those martyred.

I pray to the Almighty to give the Armed Forces and the bereaved families the strength and courage to bear this irreparable loss.

-Muhammadu Buhari
