The Executive Secretary, Centre for Crisis Communication (CCC), retired Air Commodore Yusuf Anas, said heroes living or dead are usually celebrated locally, nationally and internationally.

He said it was a very important and positive way to encourage people in the military to honour troops who have laid down their lives for their country.

“The Nigerian military has a codified way of honouring fallen heroes as specified in the Harmonized Terms and Conditions-of Service (HTCOS),” he said.

He said the provisions were also explicit on how the families of fallen heroes should be treated in the HTCOS.

“If there is a lacuna or shoddy handling in giving appropriate and befitting burial to honour our deceased officers and soldiers, the blame falls squarely on the military leadership at all levels,” he said.
