Former Minister of Aviation, Olufemi Fani-Kayode, has lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari, the Minister of Defence, Rtd Brig. Gen. Mansur Mohammed Dan Ali and the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai over the alleged ‘secret burial’ of soldiers killed by Boko Haram insurgents.
“This is wickedness of the highest order and Pres. Buhari, his Chief of Army Staff and his Min. of Defence should bury their heads in shame”.
“I am outraged by the fact that a soldier will sacrifice his life for his country yet the citizens of that country don’t even appreciate it,” he posted on his Twitter Handle.

The most reprehensible thing that our govt. can do is to cover-up the fact that 105 of our soldiers were killed by BH in battle.It is evil.

A soldier ought to be honored in death and this is especially so if he dies in the course of doing his duty and fighting for his nation.

The govt. has not only dishonored them by not acknowledging their sacrifice but they have also buried them in the wilderness like rabid dogs

Anyone that buys the lie and propaganda that the 105 soldiers never died and that they are still alive is a compound fool or village idiot.

Will the military also deny the fact that 2 days ago 34 of our soldiers were killed by BH. These boys died for their country. Why deny them?

Pictures were posted. Everyone in the military knows they are dead. It is an open secret. Yet because govt denies it so many just believe.

The truth is that BH used chemical weapons inthe attack.When u look at the pictures of the dead bodies it is obvious. Probably mustard gas.

All we want from the military is the truth. If 105 were not killed then how many were killed?

This thing happened last week in Borno state and the military authorities are denying it. I am sickened by that.

If others cannot appreciate the importance of honoring our dead soldiers, I can. I will not be intimidated and I will not remain silent. .
— Femi Fani-Kayode (@realFFK) November 25, 2015
Tell us where our boys are buried and if u refuse to do so we will keep asking. There must be accountability.Our soldiers deserve rhat much.

Finally let it be said loud and clear that since Buhari came to power he has not bought one bullet for the military. Shame on them.
