Fallen Hero: Grief, Tears as Army Performs Final Rites for Lt. Col Mohammed Abu Ali
The Nigerian army performed the final burial rites on Lt. Col Mohammed Abu Ali who was killed by Boko Haram terrorists on Saturday, November 5.
As his body was being taken away, soldiers stood at attention and saluted the late gallant soldier who lost his life after he and other soldiers were ambushed by the terrorists.
Ali and four other soldiers were killed late on Friday, November 4 by Boko Haram insurgents after a fierce battle, a statement by Army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman announced.
Ali, a recipient of the Chief of Army Staff Award for exceptional bravery and excellence, led the army units that recovered Gamboru-Ngala, Baga and several communities from the terrorists.
His death came at a time the Nigerian troops are gradually flushing out the insurgents into extinction with sustained attacks on their hideouts.
