His Jealous colleagues may even shoot him and claim it was bokoharam hence the dead don't talk.

Why was he still left in Bornu...

I shall continue to respect and remember our brave soldiers who fought bravery and sacrificed their self for this great country.

Not because I'm not a soldier but because I'm human just as they are. It was there in the battle line fighting the BH they met their death.

Dead can come to anywhere like a whirlwind to take anyone away either we are a soldier or not.

But to our falling heroes who gave their lives up for other to continuing living I say, I'm proud of u n ur braveness.

To our living soldier at the war front, I say,
Victory shall be urs because victory comes of Lord God alone.

RIP to the dead

this is really sad....he was celebrated here on nairaland a few months back.. just a few months back..kai kai kai...Boko Haram took out a gallant soldier...May he find eternal rest in eternity..Amen...part of me believes he was sold out...this is why it will be difficult to win this war..so many moles,so many spies and so many traitors among the ranks of the Nigerian Army..believe me when I say this is true

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihirrajiun.

I dont still understand why bokoharam are fighting

RIP Gallant soldier.


Come to think of it
1) Book haram release 21 Chibok girls.
2) Book haram still bombing and killing our soldiers.


Something not really adding up.

May the good Lord grant mercy unto his soul. Rjp

His colleagues who were jealous of his achievement might have killed him as well. Who knows?

I don't know this soldier but with the report i have read about him, he surely was a gallant soldier. My thoughts and prayer are with the family he left behind. I hope the morale of his colleagues wont be dampen for long by this sadonic event. RIP

ndcide:
Okay buhari and his team probably have looted the funds for the soldiers.

They don't have equipment. So boko haram were better armed.

It's corruption in the army.

You seem to have forgotten what happened in Baga during the time of the ineffectual buffoon you this clown again? Am sure your brain is on recession so you couldn't understand the attack a successfully repelled. You seem to have forgotten what happened in Baga during the time of the ineffectual buffoon. Let me remind you an your sidekick apcharam.
A month past after the deadliest Boko Haram
attack on Baga town, launched by militants on
January 3rd, but the exact number of deaths is
yet to be known. The BBC correspondent
Thomas Fessy in West Africa tried to piece
together a picture of what occurred that day.
It was reported that scores of men, women and
children were killed in the Nigerian towns of Baga
and Doron Baga in the northeastern
Nigerian state of Borno, close to Lake Chad.
According to the military officials only 150 people
were killed in a fierce attack, most of them were
terrorists. Other sources put the death toll up to
2,000.
Harun Muhamad, survivor from Baga
The survivors at refugee camps in Chad have been
narrating their ordeal.
The Boko Haram militants launched a fierce attack,
when many residents had already gone to worship.
They heard the shootings at 05:45 local time (04:45
GMT), just before dawn.
Harun Muhamad, the 31-year-old survivor from
Baga said: “ We went to the military barracks to ask
the soldiers what was happening. They told us that
Boko Haram may be attacking, so we took our
machetes and knives to defend ourselves .”
As insurgents advanced through the west side of
Baga, a group of determined young men gathered
their “cutlasses” – or machetes – and knives to
protect their town. They achieved a rare success.

“We pushed them back, together with our soldiers,”
said the local man.
The militants were made to retreat into the bush.
Survivor from Baga
Another Baga resident 20-year-old Dahiru
Abdullahi added: “ We all came out en masse to
fight back,” recalling that most terrorists were
wearing military uniforms of different kinds, some
of them also had black coats on and turbans.
After the fighters’ retreat, there was a calm in the
fighting and some relief, but it did not last long.
A few hours later Boko Haram returned. They
attacked the town again. Their lines had inflamed to
a frightening column of pick-up trucks and
motorcycles.
“When I was running and they were hunting us,
shooting us, some people were falling and dying,
others being run over with motorbikes and dying.
Some reached the bank of the lake ,” Hadija Abakar,
survivor from Baga said.
Another local, Dahiru Abdullahi, added, that “they
came back out from the bush with around 20
vehicles .”
No less than 10 armed terrorists jumped from each
car. It remains unbearable to know how many
insurgents took part in the attack; refugees spoke
of “hundreds”. The residents also out-armed.
According to Harun Muhamad the second wave of
Boko Haram militants was “too many”, making
everyone to run for their lives.
The survivors narrated how the armed terrorists
shouted at the young men who had earlier wielded
locally made weapons.
“Be brave, men, why don’t you fight us?” Boko
Haram militants cried.

Haram Attack
The Nigerian soldiers, too, gave up fighting and fled
faced with the advancing terrorists. Survivors say
many threw or dropped their guns on the ground
as they went, leaving them for others to retrieve.
Mother of a two-year-old boy Saratu Garba, 20,
said: “ Vigilantes picked up these weapons and fired
back, but they found themselves overwhelmed by
the force against them and [they] ran as well. ”
Survivors described pandemonium as the Boko
Haram armed group progressed through the town.
The local residents escaped in all directions; many
thinking that they could seek refuge in the nearby
fishing town of Doron Baga, on the shore of Lake
Chad.
By midday, the attack had turned into a hunt-to-kill
as Boko Haram fighters chased people down the
road.
Dahiru Abdullahi, survivor of Baga attack, said:
“There was also a woman whose baby fell into the
water. We got him out, gave her the baby back and
she was able to get into the boat.. We entered
boats, but they kept firing at us. ”
“They shot people dead, but they also killed with
their cars, running over those who were in their
way ,” another woman, Saratu Garba, added.
“There were too many corpses to count them.”
The woman and other refugees all narrated seeing
women, children and men falling to the ground or
lying dead. The streets of Doron Baga were soon
littered with bodies. As people reached the shores
of Lake Chad, Boko Haram insurgents closed in on
them.
“They kept firing at us even when we jumped on
boats,” said Dahiru Abdullahi. “One man next to me
was shot.”
Families scattered in a desperate flight. Many were
separated as they ran for their lives.
Some fled through the bush and, days later,
reached sanctuary in other Nigerian towns or
cities. According to Medecins Sans Frontieres about
5,000 escaped to the Maidiguri, Borno State capital
– 162km (100 miles) from Baga. Others travelled
north and crossed into neighbouring Niger.
Harun Muhamad, who was disjointed from his wife
and baby, said: “ I don’t know whether they are alive
or dead.”
However, Dahiru Abdullahi, is waiting for news of
his younger brother. “ Him and nine other men who
were with us, they have disappeared,” he said.
The leader of Boko Haram militants Abubakar
Shekau released a video after Baga attack. He took
the responsibility for the Baga attack.
It remains impossible to know precisely how many
Nigerians were killed during the attack. Human
rights group Amnesty International has said that up
to 2,000 lost their lives, but BBC has found no
indication to back such a claim. Eyewitness
accounts suggest several hundred are likely to have
died, but the real figure will probably never be
known.

Failure In Baga
The Federal Government of Nigeria looks unable to
settle any death toll. The army rejected Amnesty’s
count, saying “ the number of people who lost their
lives during the attack has so far not exceeded
about 150 “.
Satellite images of Baga and Doron Baga taken
after the attacks show the extent of the damage –
with an estimated 3,700 structures damaged or
destroyed, according to Amnesty International.
In an online video, a man named Abi Mos’aab
Albernawi – introduced as the “official spokesman”
for Boko Haram – said they attacked Baga because
it was “ important in terms of commercial and
military value to the Nigerian government“.
Baga was most probable targeted because of the
nearby military base, headquarters of the
Multinational Joint Task Force that includes Nigeria,
Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
