Suspected terrorists killed four soldiers, including newlywed Army officer, Captain Ibrahim Yibranii Yohana, in an ambush in Sokoto State, last weekend.
The dastardly attack occurred in the Gudu Local Government Area of the state while the soldiers were patrolling the Kukurau-Bangi Road around 4.00 pm last Saturday.
Two other soldiers were injured even as the terrorists set ablaze two operational vehicles conveying the military personnel.
The tragic Captain Yohana got married on November 4, 2023, to his wife, Jossy Happiness.
A friend of the deceased Army officer named Genesis Kaboshio Akau wrote on Facebook:
“Hmmm…my beloved Predecessor back then in ABU Zaria (ESM), a very dedicated Organist who loves God, as troubleless as he was, I was surprised to hear he joined the Nigerian Army .. From Maiduguri to Lagos etc & then Niger state.. Unfortunately, I heard the sad story of your departure from this realm of life. U lost ur younger sister, elder brother & now u are gone. May the LORD comfort us all… We’ll miss u dearly beloved Captain Ibrahim Yohanna (Presido Commando). Sai mu zo”.
