The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Defence and Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Anti Corruption, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, says the death of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and ten other Military Officers is sad and a big blow to the ongoing war on terror .

The release by Wamakko’s media aide Bashir Rabe Mani quoted Wamakko as saying,”their demise is also certainly a formidable setback to the concerted efforts by the military and other security agencies, to combat the myriad of security challenges across Nigeria .

” The late General had really reenergized the war against insurgency, banditry, cattle rustling, kidnapping and other related crimes .

” His demise at this critical time of the sustained efforts to tame these security infractions had really created a wide vacuum, too difficult to fill ,'” Wamakko, added .

Wamakko, who represents Sokoto North Senatorial District recalled his various interactions with the deceased,saying,” he was a diligent, committed , pious, patriotic and a fine Military Officer .

” He would greatly missed and his tangible invaluable contributions in the war on terror would remain indelible .
