As
Nigerians mourn the demise of a gallant solider, lieutenant colonel
Muhammad Abu Ali who died protecting the territorial integrity of the
country in the north-east, a leak of the spot he was killed has emerged
on social media.
A touching picture of the spot where lieutenant colonel Muhammad
Abu Ali was ambushed and slain by Boko Haram operatives has surfaced
online amidst national mourning by Nigerians.
The building as seen in the disturbing photo was ridden with
bullets and other weapons of destruction that must have been employed in
the hot battle between the insurgents and Nigerian soldiers.
The picture was shared on Facebook by one Comrade Adamu Yakubu.
Abu, commanding officer of the 272 Task Force Tank Battalion, died at
about 10.00pm on Friday when suspected insurgents attacked the 119 Battalion Nigerian army location at Mallam Fatori, northern Borno state.
He was described as the nightmare of the Boko Haram sect who played
a massive role in the recapture of Baga from Boko Haram which led to
his accelerated promotion from a major to the post of lieutenant
colonel.
