The Nigeria Peace Advocates, NPA, said military firepower making bandits and insurgents desperate.
The group in a statement issued on Sunday by its Secretary, Bernard Udu, called on Nigerians to continue to support and pray for the AFN.
They said the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa and his troops have what it takes to defend the country against those who don’t understand the language of peace.
It said bandits and terrorists are feeling the heat of intensified military operations across the country, which is making them more desperation.
The group condemned recent attacks of military in the line of duty while responding to a distress call in the Chukuba community in Shiroro Local Council Area of Niger.
The statement further described the commitment of the military under the General Musa as inspiring and commendable.
“No matter the level of their desperation, Nigerians are solidly behind the Armed Forces of Nigeria under the leadership of Gen. C. G. Musa.
“We must stand behind our troops who continue to make sacrifices for the peace and stability of our country. We must not give in to those whose actions are inimical to peace and development.
“NPA, once more send our heartfelt condolences to the CDS, the AFN and families of the deceased personnel. Nigerians are behind you. We stand in hope that very soon, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.”
