Photo Of The Army Lieutenant Killed By Terrorists Yesterday Stirs Emotions; Deji Adeyanju Mourns

Nigerian human rights’ activist, Deji Adeyanju, has mourned the death of Lieutenant Ibrahim Suleiman, son of Col Suleiman Ahmodu Babanawa (rtd), who was reportedly among the Guards Brigade killed by terrorists in ambush while returning from the Nigerian Law School, Bwari, Abuja.

On Facebook, the activist posted: “Dear Nigerians, Are you aware that terrorists abducted a Captain & 13 soldiers while responding to a distress call in an Abuja community yesterday?”

Quoting another post confirming the Lieutenant’s death, Deji added: “RIP Patriot.”

The ambush attack has been confirmed by many sources, including Premium Times, leaving Nigerians with question on how to arrest the country’s insecurity challenge.

The post, quoted by Deji on Facebook, authored by media personality, Isuma Isuma, reads: “Lieutenant Ibrahim Suleiman, son of Col Suleiman Ahmodu Babanawa (rtd), from Okpo in Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State was among the Guards Brigade killed in the ambush while returning from Nigerian Law School, Bwari, Abuja.

“They had responded to a distress call from the school authority after receiving a letter from the terrorists that the school will be attacked.

“My confusion is, why would the team just go on a visit to the school and leave immediately instead of setting up surveillance and properly man the entire area.

“This same thing happened in Kuje prison before the terrorists over ran the prison. Today, 150 Boko Haram terrorists are at large.”

@Andohemba: “May his Soul RIP. With the frequent ambush against troops. It’s advise that each time troops go on fighting patrol, UAS should be use in such operations. Mostly during advance and redrew it’ll help to forestall suddenly attacks and also locate enemy position.”

@Emporaw: “The strategy is very obvious, draw them out and ambush them, of course this kind of attack cannot be carried out without insider help. May God save Nigeria.”
