Senator Dino Melaye and the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed have come under serious attack from Nigerians following the manner they conducted themselves at the burial ceremony of late Lt. Col. Abu Ali.

The two ministers, who were among the dignitaries that attended the burial of the slain soldiers yesterday, at the National Cemetery Abuja, were pictured laughing out loud at the occasion meant for sober reflection of the departed soldiers.

See the photos below:

The burial of the slain soldiers was graced by public figures including members of the National Assembly as a sign of last respect to the nation’s fallen heroes.

The people present at the ceremony won a sober mood while some Nigerians took to social media to pour out words of solace to the bereaved family left behind.

But despite the sober mood, many wondered how Senator Melaye and Lai Mohammed could still find humor at a very sensitive occasion like that.

Reacting to their behavior, Nigerians took to social media platforms and blasted the duo for their attitude during the burial ceremony of the seven slain soldiers.

DropShot: This was not proper, especially by Lai Mohammed. He should know better and conduct himself far better than this. This is very disgraceful. As for Dino, I don’t expect good conducts from him anyway.

Akkord4gov: What do you expect from them? I’m not surprise. I no blame then na,shebi na senseless Boko Haram wey dey fight illogical course rather than helping us to fight these thieves.  RIP our gallant soldiers.

ButterFrost212(f): Who expects Dino to act right, that’s like expecting a sheep to do the right thing. But for the others, they should know better. Laughing at anybody’s funeral is all shades of wrong. But do our leaders know that? they seem to always be laughing even in these terrible times.. Oh well
