Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have killed a gallant Cameroonian soldier in a recent attack in the country.
Cameroonians have taken to social media to mourn the death of a prominent soldier in the line of duty.
According to reports, "Captain Yari Emmanuel died on February 11, 2016 protecting the country from the terror known as Boko Haram.
"It is a great loss to his family, friends and associates and to Cameroon, to be taken away at the age of 29. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant just one month ago and he showed much promise but now is sadly unable to fulfill his dreams and aspirations."
Below is an eulogy from his loved one:
"Yari Emmanuel,
I cannot imagine I am pending these last words to you. I feel a very sharp pain within me. I recall our university years. You were so brave, full of life and put your friends first as you were doing to the Cameroun nation. I looked through our last conversation, I could not stop but to weep. I asked you to be very tactful, I assured you that the Cameroun people have your back and each day we put you and your comrades in prayers but it seems God needed you most. Rest in peace brother.
We shall defeat Boko Haram. Yes, we shall defeat them and some day, your photo shall be honoured in the hall of fame. I promise you that.
