Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru, has vowed that those behind the dastardly act will not go free, stating that they will surely be apprehended and meant to face the wrath of the law.

Badaru made the vow a week after the killing of 17 military personnel in the Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.

The minister made the vow when he visited troops of the one mechanised division in Kaduna, to commiserate with the General Officer Commanding the division over the incident.

He said the Federal Government and military authorities will not rest until the masterminds of the killing of military personnel who were on a peace mission are apprehended.

He also gave an update on the ongoing effort to rescue the abducted school children at the Kuriga community in Chikun local government area of Kaduna State, saying that the possibility of rescuing the students is in sight.
