Tears as twelve soldiers who were killed in the bloody communal clash between Konshishi and Oju local Government areas in Benue state were laid to rest on Monday in\u00a0Wurukum military cemetery in Makurdi, Benue state capital.<\/p>\n

The burial ceremony was well attended by the Executive Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom and other top military officers.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the funeral, Ortom\u00a0regretted the killing of the soldiers and vowed to collaborate with security agencies to restore peace in Konshisha.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe condemn the killing<\/a> of the soldiers who were out to maintain peace. Attack on security men is attack on all. The attack was uncalled for and unwarranted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were out to keep peace and got killed in the process otherwise we all know what soldiers would ordinarily do in such a situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I said anything that was offensive to the families, I ask for their forgiveness. I earlier said only two soldiers<\/a> were involved based on the information available to me at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conducting the funeral service, Chaplain of 73 Battalion, Major Ibrahim Mavisky and the Imam Captain A.A Bashir agreed that there was time to be born and time to die.<\/p>\n

They noted the fallen heroes were peace makers who went out not for evil but regrettably met their death in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
