Brother to a Nigerian Army captain, A. Yusuf, who has been missing for months now while on an official assignment -has penned down a heartfelt message to mark his birthday which is today.. Below is what the emotional brother wrote;

The darkness is so ominous and the silence of the authorities deafening! It has been a long walk of handwork, courage, determination, struggles and patriotism. You have excelled all through from being a Tradesman, to an Engineer, a political scientist and a gallant soldier. You kept the peace in Liberia and Sudan. As JTF Commander in Katsina you kept terrorists away, you protected Kirikiri maximum prison against prison breaks! Duty called and you were unable to join us in the burial of our grandmother this time last year and off you were shipped to Maiduguri to protect the fatherland against Boko Haram.

We have not heard from you since November 2015 following the attack in Baga. Our enquiries have met brick walls and the only word is MIA "Missing in Action". Brother, you may be missing but we have faith that it is well with you. The pains are heavy in our hearts of not knowing where you are but where ever you are, we will not forget that today is your birthday and we wish you WELL CAPTAIN!!!!!! - Frank Okafor

this is sad

It is so sad that no official information has emerged on the whereabouts of about 150 soldiers that mysteriously got missing.

Yusuf and okafor.

nawa ...this is quite unfortunate ...it is well

Sorry bros

We all salute ur bravery sir

God will locate him..amen

Pathetic

Aww...

Hopefully, he'll b located breathing...But November 2015 don tey ooo

Hmmmmm... he is probably dead. but the authority should investigate and come to a conclusion so the family can be at peace. an adage says a dead child is better than a missing child.

Lord, how long?

Hmmm...


Some of us don't understand what these military men and their families go through.

How does it feel watching your son, husband, father or brother go to work to protect the nation without hope of him not returning in a casket or body bag?

Ah been tink say na only me see am ni oooo

Sad

Stop the denial. There is a deliberate dark coverup of recent events about this BH war. It absolutely radiates conspiracy, connivance and a sleazy alliance with mainstream media to protect the incumbent government from public scrutiny. Too bad that human life means little now in a brutish system where your survival wholly depends on you.

Families are left to grieve on unending. From all indications their hope hangs on nothing. A sour, biting grape.
