Abubakar Badaru, the Nigerian Minister of Defence, along with his counterpart for State, Bello Matawalle, and all the service chiefs, gathered to pay their last respects to the military personnel who recently lost their lives in Niger State.

Family members of the deceased and the top echelon of the Nigerian military converged on the military cemetery in Abuja on Thursday for funeral.
Daily Trust’s Onyekachukwu Obi took these pictures at the burial ground:
