The Minister commiserated with the Commander-in- Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, the Nigerian Air Force and the nation at large as well as the families of those who paid the supreme price serving the nation.
He therefore prayed for the repose of their souls and the fortitude to bear the national calamity.
