Our nation is faced with the threat of terrorism that comes in various forms. We are all affected either directly or indirectly. It’s in the face of such calamities that our brave and gallant soldiers rise. The unity of our proud nation lies in the hands of these men, and It’s important to recognize at all times, our unsung heroes who sacrifice themselves to safeguard our nations’ security, peace and stability, they fought with pride and honor which costs them their lives and as long as they fought we all felt safe. We must pay tribute to these soldiers, the unsung heroes in our midst. To the fallen soldiers we say a good fight you fought, to the ones we have we say ‘Thank You’. Since the begining of this insurgency thousands of soldiers have lost their lives in the North East, Please let's Honor these brave warriors and keep their memories alive by posting their pictures on this thread, if you have a friend, relative, colleague, neighbour, you can post their pictures and tell us a short story about them.

Col. Kinsgsley E. Elemele, according to reports gathered by Igbere TV, who happens to be the Chief of Staff to 29 Task force Brigade lost his life in recent line of battle with Boko Haram in Borno state. It was earlier reported on Thursday that a Nigerian army colonel including five other gallant soldiers were killed in an ambush by rebel fighters in northeast Nigeria's Borno state. According to the reports, heavily armed fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) group on Wednesday, opened fire on a patrol vehicle of soldiers who were on their way to Maiduguri from Damaturu, the capital of neighbouring Yobe state, when the rebels attacked them around 16:20 GMT, near Jakana, 30km from the state capital Maiduguri, killing all the soldiers on board. The attack was repelled by soldiers at the base, with ISWAP fighters abandoning weapons and one vehicle as they fled. Igbere TV gathers that the attacks came hours after a military chief in the northeast warned "terrorists" in the region to disarm or be destroyed. So many soldiers and civilians have been lost within the course of the war and the battle is beginning to seem like one which will end in a Pyrrhic victory for the nation.

Muhammad Abu Ali, a lieutenant colonel, whom Boko Haram dreaded, is dead. Ali led one of the army’s fiercest-ever battles with Boko Haram, in February 2015, culminating in the recapture of Baga town in Borno state. Sani Usman, army spokeman, said he was killed in an encounter with the insurgents on Friday. The deceased was was granted accelerated promotion from rank of major to lieutenant-colonel in September 2015, for his courageous performance in a series of the army’s engagements with Boko Haram. Usman added that four soldiers were killed, but that troops killed 14 of the insurgents who attacked a location of the army in Borno state. “Yesterday at about 10.00pm suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked a 119 Battalion Nigerian army location at Mallam Fatori, northern Borno state. The troops fought gallantly and repelled the attack, killing 14 Boko Haram terrorists,” he said. “Unfortunately, we lost an officer and four soldiers, while four other soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries during the encounter. One of those killed in action, was Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Abu Ali, the Commanding Officer of 272 Task Force Tank Battalion.” During TheCable’s investigative trip to the theatre of war, soldiers, majority of whom have built an unwanted reputation for always criticising the army hierarchy, spoke highly of Ali’s professionalism. One of the soldiers, who partook in the Baga operation, narrated his experience to TheCable . “In the case Baga, when it was recaptured from Boko Haram, Abu Ali, who led that operation, told the soldiers that they should not worry, that they should only do five percent of the job, that he was going to do 95% of the job with the tanks,” he had said. “And that was exactly what happened. He did most of the work with the tanks. He was a major at that time and his promotion after the operation was automatic because he performed very well. One smallish guy like that o.” https://www.thecable.ng/breaking-boko-haram-kills-col-ali-led-operation-recapture-baga 1 Like
