As Nigerians mourn the demise of a gallant solider, lieutenant colonel Muhammad Abu Ali who died protecting the territorial integrity of the country in the north-east, a leak of the spot he was killed has emerged on social media.
A touching picture of the spot where lieutenant colonel Muhammad Abu Ali was ambushed and slain by Boko Haram operatives has surfaced online amidst national mourning by Nigerians.
The building as seen in the disturbing photo was ridden with bullets and other weapons of destruction that must have been employed in the hot battle between the insurgents and Nigerian soldiers.
He was described as the nightmare of the Boko Haram sect who played a massive role in the recapture of Baga from Boko Haram which led to his accelerated promotion from a major to the post of lieutenant colonel.
