Lt. Colonel Muhammed Abu-Ali was killed in an ambush at Mallam Fatori, a major terrorist strong-hold, by Boko Haram terrorists. His team was ambushed while returning to the battle-font after going for reinforcement.

Lt. Col. Abu Ali was the commanding officer of the 272 Tank Battalion, and reputed to be army’s bravest commanders and fighters engaged in Nigeria’s war against Boko Haram.

Sources had mentioned according to the Press that his murder with four other soldiers was possibly a set-up with insider leaks to the terrorists who had been informed that the Nigerian army had thinned out the lines in the battlefront.

More sad is the fact that the young soldier who had been promoted for his gallantry and was already a Lieutenant Colonel, had requested to be rotated out of Borno as he had been engaged for four straight years without break. His request was turned down.

Military soldiers are not recommended to spend more than one-year in active battle duty tour according to best practices. While Nigeria’s army are allegedly stretched thin in the battle, four years is “criminally” excessive, military officials told NewsRescue.

Further more, Lt. Col Muhammed had been suffering from near deafness as a result of constant gunfire in the war zone. This however did not help in getting him transferred out and sent for medical attention.

The death of this gallant soldier, husband and father is expected to decrease the morale of Nigerian troops in the battle front.

Rip to the gallant army

You people are only consoling with the Lt colonel because he is an officer.What about other soldiers who were killed along with him and those who sustained injuries?Are they not important as well?

Could the ambushed and death of these galant soldiers been as a result of their protest over the delay and shortchanged of their allowances by buratai?Their attack was a setup.

Very sad

And the nigerian government is still creating more fronts.

Who cares no pity @ all but if its to kill unarmed protesters they ll do it with all pleasure nonsense that's his business Bridget died no one cared y show I?
