    The Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) has initiated a three-day national mourning period for the 17 soldiers tragically killed by irate youths in Okuama, Ughelli South Local Government Area (LGA) of Delta State. Among the fallen heroes are distinguished personnel such as Lieutenant Colonel Abdullahi Hassan Ali, the Commanding Officer of 181 Amphibious Battalion Oleh, Major Gembu Shafa, the Joint Task Force (JTF) Commander in Bomadi, along with another Major and a Captain.

    In solemn recognition of their sacrifice, flags across all military installations nationwide will be flown at half-mast. This directive, issued by Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Christopher Musa, extends from Monday, March 18, 2024, to March 20, 2024.

    Flying the flag at half-mast serves as a poignant tribute, demonstrating the nation’s respect and mourning for the heroic personnel who have bravely lost their lives in service to their country.
