FG to Complete Records of Nigerian Casualties and Assets Lost During ECOMOG Wars

Nigeria’s Defence Minister, Christopher Gwabin Musa, said the federal government is working to complete records of casualties and historical assets connected to Nigerian military personnel and others who served in ECOMOG operations in Liberia and Sierra Leone. He made the announcement in Abuja while receiving a delegation of veterans led by Major General Ohifeme Ejimai. Ejimai urged the ministry to address documentation gaps and consider establishing a remembrance day for the hundreds of Nigerian troops killed in the missions. Established by ECOWAS in 1990, ECOMOG helped restore constitutional order and stabilise West Africa.
