Atiku, in a statement on Friday, extended his condolences to
the family of the late military officer and other victims of the attack.
“My heart is heavy at the news of the killing of
Brigadier-General O. Braimah, Commander of the 29 Task Force Brigade, alongside
gallant soldiers and the brigade’s Imam, in the Boko Haram attack on
Benisheikh,” Atiku said.
He further sympathised with the immediate family of the
deceased officer.
“To his dear wife, his brother Alhassan, and the entire
Braimah family, I extend my deepest condolences,” he added.
Atiku also paid tribute to the fallen personnel, describing
their deaths as a painful reminder of the sacrifices made by members of the
armed forces in defending the country.
“We honour his supreme sacrifice, and the daily sacrifices
of all the brave men and women who stand on the frontlines to keep our nation
safe. May their service not be in vain,” he stated.
In addition, he further prayed for the repose of their souls
and strength for their families.
“May Allah grant them Aljannah Firdaus, and comfort the
families they leave behind,” he said.
