Boko Haram terrorists have killed another senior Nigerian Army officer, identified as, O. Umusu. Umusu who was a Lieutenant Colonel and Commanding Officer, 118 Task Force Battallion in Borno State.

He was killed alongside his security details, by an IED in an ambush Monday evening, December 12.



The officer and his men were reportedly returning from Maiduguri to their location towards Baga. The incident happened between Sari and Gudumbali.


Their remains were evacuated to 7 Division Medical Services and Hospital.

O.Umusu is one of the four Lt. Col. the army is losing in two months.

Veteran soldier Funsho Yusuf who has known him for years wrote.....


'I have known Lt Col Otos Umusu since the age of 11,he has always been a courageous and highly resolute man. We have been good friends for over 25 years. Otos as he is fondly called was responsible for channeling supplies to our troops in the frontlines for a few years. He was promoted last year and became a commanding officer of one of the units combating insurgency in NortEast Nigeria. I interacted with Otos 2 nights ago till around 3am on Saturday. I remembered him throwing a jibe at me for not visiting his more volatile location in Madagali during my recent tour of the North East. He also raised his observation on the fight against insurgency being intensified in the media rather than on ground. I looked into his eyes with sympathy as I appreciated his selfless sacrifice and those of our other troops who are fighting with limited resources. To be honest I usually pray in my heart we see again whenever I parted ways with anyone serving in NorthEast Nigeria. I was heartbroken to hear about your passing this morning. You are a hero and should never be forgotten,I pray to God almighty to give your family the fortitude to bear your loss. You shall certainly rest in peace my Colonel'

I am one of the Nigerians who believed that Buhari and his APC cohorts are scam apart from Ambode.Buhari and his lie lie minister Laid Mohammed told us that Boko Haram has been defeated.Atiku came out and said it is a lie.So what is happening now?Atiku all the way in 2019 or Ambode vs Peter Obi ticket!

R.I.P to a gallant soldier, shame on Burutai for spending the money meant for soldiers in buying up choice properties in Dubai.

Another sacrificial lamb, may God help us

May the Almighty grant the family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss

Adieu, gallant

BUHARI keep buying Dane AK-47 guns for our soldiers.



MOD please I don't like my user name? Who asked you to change it?

May God Bless Our Gallant Soldiers laying down their lives for us all to live and sleep peacefully .


RIP Gallant Soldier

Naturally I don't pity nigerian army or police when such tragedy befall them. Perhaps, because more innocent nigerians have perished in their hands than in the hands of criminals.

Anybody or organisation that is the enermy of the masses deserves no pity from thesame masses.

i dont pity them too expecially the Nigerian army they are so brutal and senseless.
i will never forget my journey to ikare in 2014,soldiers told a man in his late 50's to kneel down just because he didnt horn before passing through their check point...the man wife and children were in the car too o.

Nigeria is a useless country

And this here is the crux of the problem! Media hype of fake gains and muzzling of real problems whilst our people perish!

I feel more whenever they kill any boko haram members

They innocent people that are brainwashed by religion and politics

This is really worrisome. How come immediately after the chibok girls' release, BH attacks have been more streamlined and successful in taking out high ranking officers. This is the third Battalion commander to die this few months.

Thunder fire any body that believes that bokoharam has been conquered

useless people

The Nigerian military are wise to have chosen their battle in doing operation crocodile in the south east where there is no record of insurgency and militancy but left the north east that has been a bed of insurgency .
May God help the soldiers who are in the north east

Angel of God is sweeping the people that say Biafrans must be massacred. Chukwu Okike Abiama otito diri gi, onye bi n'elu-Igwe anyi n'e fe.

How many more do we have to loose before Buhari and his government would acknowledge that the war hasn't been won as they have prematurely declared.
Yet another #softTarget downed by BH

Why are our promising young agile soldiers being killed?

fourth Lt.col in two months .....and we are winning the war ?someone must be lying cus i am not "understanding"

---

and buhari promised us to curb this people within six months in office

top dog!

Rip

Work hazard shaa. RIP gallant soldier

You been reading too much of the scriptures of late. The same angel that can't free Nnamadi Kanu from prison.

we should always expect such killings from the boko haram sect when the army is fighting insurgency with sincerity. before the army were hiding and pretending to be fighting boko-haram. but now the fighting have been intensified. every soldier is on the battle field. be it a sergeant, corpral or lieutenant.
no more hiding place for our gallant soldiers.
no government can put an end to terrorism because terrorism is like Hydra when their head is cut off expect the head as an outgrowth from different part of the body. if you doubt, ask Americans about Taliban and al-qaeda.

rest in peace to the commanding officer umosu
