Bodies of 11 dead soldiers arrive military cemetery in Makurdi

Bodies of the 11 soldiers that were killed in the Bonta community of Konshisha Local Government Area of Benue State have arrived at the military cemetery in Makurdi, the State capital.

Recall that we earlier reported that one army officer and 10 soldiers were killed after they went missing in Benue state in what a spokesman said was an unprovoked attack on Thursday.

However,  some top army officials are currently at the cemetery located at Wurukum in Makurdi to witness the burial of the gallant soldiers.

The troops who were on stabilization operation in the state over the communal crisis between Konshisha and the Oju LG were initially declared missing but were later found dead after the deployment of a joint search.
