He urged citizens to be cautious of propaganda and fake news by terrorists and implored them to remain patriotic.

Terrorists ambushed troops in the Zungeru region of the state, and some valiant Nigerian Army soldiers paid the price.

A Nigerian Air Force MI-171 Helicopter on a casualty evacuation mission also crashed on Monday in the state’s Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA).
