*OPEN LETTER OF CONDOLENCE ON THE TRAGIC DEMISE OF BRIGADIER GENERAL M. UBA*
It is with a profound sense of grief and national loss that the entire team at the HallowMace Foundation Africa extends our deepest condolences to the Nigerian Armed Forces, and to you in particular, on the tragic and untimely death of Brigadier General M. Uba.
The news of his fall at the hands of ISWAP terrorists, following a successful joint operation, has sent shockwaves across the nation. We read the reports of his bravery, his leadership in the successful air-ground offensive, and the ultimate sacrifice he made along the Damboa Biu axis with heavy hearts.
Brigadier General Uba embodied the highest ideals of service, courage, and patriotism. His death is not just a loss to the military, but a painful blow to every Nigerian who yearns for peace and security in our land.
We recognize that this devastating incident underscores the immense sacrifices made daily by our gallant troops in the North East. It is a stark reminder of the cunning and persistence of the enemy they face, and the high price paid for our collective safety. We honour the memory of Brigadier General Uba and all the fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate price in the defence of Nigeria’s territorial integrity and the protection of her citizens.
In this hour of immense grief, we urge the entire military leadership and the rank and file to not be demoralized. Instead, may the tragic loss of this fine officer fortify your resolve.
*Therefore, as a Foundation dedicated to a peaceful and secure Africa, we add a call to action:*
We call for a renewed and reinforced commitment from all branches of the security apparatus to enhance the safety and operational security of our officers on the front lines. We urge a thorough review of communication protocols and intelligence gathering to prevent such devastating ambushes in the future.
Furthermore, we call on the Federal Government and the international community to continue providing our armed forces with every necessary tool, technology, and resource required to decisively win this war against terrorism and insurgency.
The HallowMace Foundation Africa stands in solidarity with the Nigerian military. We recommit ourselves to supporting our troops and the families they leave behind, and to advocating for the lasting peace for which heroes like Brigadier General Uba fought and died for.
We pray that the Almighty God grants his soul eternal rest and grants his family, colleagues, and the entire Nigerian Armed Forces the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.
*Respectfully Yours,*
*For: HallowMace Foundation Africa,*
