So sad! See Photos Military Colonel, Muhammad Ali, Who Was Killed By Boko Haram

Muhammad Abu Ali, a lieutenant colonel, whom Boko Haram dreaded, is dead. Ali led one of the army’s fiercest-ever battles with Boko Haram, in February 2015, culminating in the recapture of Baga town in Borno state.

Sani Usman, the army spokesman, said he was killed in an encounter with the insurgents on Friday.

The deceased was granted accelerated promotion from the rank of major to lieutenant-colonel in September 2015, for his courageous performance in a series of the army’s engagements with Boko Haram.

‎Usman added that four soldiers were killed, but that troops killed 14 of the insurgents who attacked a location of the army in Borno state.

RIP to our Hero!
