While praying for God to grant the family of the deceased the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss, Tom urged the Nigerian Military to step up its game in the fight against the insurgents in order to bring their deadly activities to an end.

Many young soldiers have lost their lives in the fight against the terror gang in trying to protect the country,  though many of them have been dying in vain as their families have been left uncatered for by the authorities of the Nigerian Army.
