Military school ex-boys mourn fallen colleague

Members of the Nigerian Military School (NMS), Old Boys' Association, have been thrown into a mourning period as another of their member, Major Yusuf Adamu, became the latest victim of the dreaded Islamist insurgent sect, Boko Haram.

The young Major, according to military sources, was killed in a recent onslaught by Nigerian Army to dislodge the insurgents from Borno State where they have been holding sway in the past six years.

Major Adamu was described as a very fine and fearless soldier who died while protecting his father land.

May his soul rest in peace.
