Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buaratai, spoke with journalists shortly after declaring open a seminar with the theme ‘Assessing the threats of Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria’ at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Abuja on Monday.

During the seminar, Buratai emotionally described the recent killing of Lt. Col. Muhammad Abu Ali as one loss too many. He particularly described Ali as a Nigerian Army Super Warrior. He further said it is crucial to find a national and global solution to the terrorism challenge in the country with special emphasis on Boko Haram as he called for intensified concerted onslaught against Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria.

While declaring that the deceased Commanding Officer of the 272 Task Force Battalion, Muhammad Abu Ali, would not die in vain; the Army Chief called for the cooperation of Nigerians in the fight against insurgency. He said the late commander reputed for extraordinary acts of bravery who was on deployment in Mallam Fatori after an earlier attack on troops location would be buried at the military cemetery on Monday. His words:

“It is incumbent on all of us to really reflect, to understand that we are really in a situation where need to ensure that the fight against insurgency received total support from everybody. This a loss too many that we just have to find a collective effort by all Nigerians and indeed globally to ensure that terrorism is seriously fought to the end. It is a situation where we really need to work together, to synergise together."

Why so much media attention surrounding this guy's death?

Is he better than the countless south-easterners that have lost their lives? Is he better than other soldiers that have died in the line of action?

Is this media hype tied to the fact that he's from the north?

so many unanswered questions.
