Friends Mourn Young Lieutenant Killed By Boko Haram Militants

A young soldier who graduated from the Nigerian Defense Academy few months ago, has lost his life in the fight against Boko Haram.

Close friends of late  Lieutenant M Umar, who was killed in a battle to reclaim the commercial town of Mubi, Adamawa State, from the dreaded Boko Haram sect, have still to come to terms with how his young dreams were cut short in a battle for his fatherland.

According to a post put up on social media:

The young but gallant soldier had graduated from the Nigerian Defense Academy some few months ago and before he was posted to the war front of Mubi, he was so full of life and bubbling with zeal for his nation.

One of such dreams was to get married to his sweetheart sometime next year, but all the dreams have been cut short by a calllous set of misplaced militants who have been misled to think they are fighting a just fight.

May his soul rest in peace.
