Yesterday at about 10.00pm suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked a 119 Battalion Nigerian Army location at Mallam Fatori, northern Borno State. The troops fought gallantly and repelled the attack, killing 14 Boko Haram terrorists.

Unfortunately, we lost an officer and 4 soldiers, while 4 other soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries during the encounter. One of those killed in action, was Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Abu Ali, the Commanding Officer of 272 Task Force Tank Battalion.

It will be recalled that because of the late senior officer’s exceptional bravery and gallantry, he was given an accelerated promotion from the rank of Major to Lieutenant Colonel and was decorated by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General TY Buratai at Gamboru Ngala on 9th September 2015 during an operational visit.

So far, the troops have recovered 1 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), 7 AK-47 rifles and a large quantity of ammunition. Mopping up and exploitation are ongoing.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman
Acting Director Army Public Relations

Seems the the last kicks of the dying horse will last till thy kingdom comes

They'd soon arrive here to Wail as usual over the death of their Heroes, same way they do when a corrupt crook posing as a politician or judge is asked to account for their roles in various criminal ventures.

God bless the Nigerian Army.

Rest in Peace gallant officer who gave his life for love of nation.

Death to all terrorists and their fans both online and offline.

what a waste...

Malo people and janjaweedians

smh

They were on a suicide mission and they got rightly served.

RIP to the officer and soldiers who paid the supreme price.

Show us the bodies of the decapitated genocidal soldiers...

it seems like their major target was the commander...


rip to sir Ali and his soldiers

rapistomenka:
Show us the bodies of the decapitated genocidal soldiers...

they dont show dead bodies of soldiers on the internet......its an insult to the dead soldiers

RIP.....


To kill a Lieutenant Colonel surely means Bokoharam surely killed over 60 soldiers in this Massive Onslaught.....


Buhari Why did you swap Bokoharam Commanders with the Chibok girls just to score cheap political points...

GEJ refused this Swap Deal.

Buhari you should have continued with the massive and continous military attacks on Bokoharam surely someday we will find the Chibok girls and other detainees...


Granting Freedom to those Libya Trained Tuaregs who have been fighting as Mercenaries all thier lives is Counter-Productive...

diehardanusfan:
they dont show dead bodies of soldiers on the internet......its an insult to the dead soldiers

But showing the bodies of slain unarmed protesters is not an insult to their families

But showing the bodies of Slain unarmed protesters is not an insult to their families

Soldiers Don't Die, They Go To Heaven.
