The remains were moved from the 44 Nigerian Army Referral Hospital, Kedudah to the National Mosque and the Nigerian Air Force Protestant Church in Abuja for prayers. The remains were laid here moved to the National Military Cemetery for the Intangent Ceremony. Clearly our heroes died in the course of their duties. I want to take this opportunity again to appeal to all Nigerians to continue to support our armed forces. They sacrifice everything in order to defend this country and therefore they require their need and it is imperative that we continue to give them all the support that they need either as citizens or as officials of government. For us in the Legislature and the National Assembly particularly we'll continue to work to ensure that we give them more resources for them to prosecute this war that we are confronting. I call it war because clearly practically Nigeria is in war. Well this is terribly shocking and we as Muslims we know death can come at any time but this is shocking especially with the kind of effort is put on them fighting these uh crisis that we're having in this country. We pray that Allah in His infinite mercy, the chief of hearts and all those who are with him we pray that Allah in His infinite mercy we forgive them and what they look behind Allah will be there for them all.
