Lieutenant
Colonel Muhammad Abu Ali may be dead but his memories and heroic deeds
will forever linger in our hearts as a force that restored the
territorial integrity of Nigeria against the Boko Haram sect.
Late lieutenant colonel, Muhammad Abu Ali
On November 4, 2016, when Boko Haram gunned down Muhammad Abu Ali, a
lieutenant-colonel and commanding officer of the 272 Task Force Tank
Battalion at Mallam Fatori, Borno State, the insurgents must have
thought they were eliminating a bitter enemy, a man who had handed them
heavy defeats each time they came up against him.
They must have thought they were wasting him and punishing his wife and three children. It was mission unaccomplished because, unfortunately for them, Ali was more than a Boko Haram nemesis.
They must have thought they were wasting him and punishing his wife and three children. It was mission unaccomplished because, unfortunately for them, Ali was more than a Boko Haram nemesis.
He was more than a family man. Lieutenant-Colonel Muhammadu Abu Ali
was a unique officer, uncommon leader, patriotic Nigerian, fine
gentleman, level-headed fighter and national hero. By killing him, Boko
Haram has only elevated him to martyrdom.
These are photos shared by close associates of the valiant soldier
to celebrate his transition to eternal greatness rather than mourn his
death. Abu Ali paid the supreme price of protecting the dignity and
safety of Nigerians with his life.
