A colonel with the Nigerian Army has lost his life in an ambush by Boko Haram. The late army officer, Colonel, D.C Bako, was killed on Sunday, Septemeber 20, in Borno. Lt General Tukur Buratai expressed shock over the death of the fallen Army officer. A report by the Channels TV indicates that a Nigerian Army, colonel, D.C Bako, has been killed in a Boko Haram ambush.

Legit.ng gathered that the news of Colonel Bako's death was disclosed by the Force, in a communique issued on the night of Monday, September 21. The report quoted the newsletter signed by an Army spokesman, Colonel Ado Isa, that the fallen soldier was gallant and was one of the finest war heroes.

The statement further revealed that Col DC Bako always led from the front and was a patriotic Nigerian, who led a patrol to clear Boko Haram Terrorists from Sabon Gari-Wajiroko axis near Damboa. The deceased's patrol team entered an ambush at about 10 am on Sunday, September 20, while carrying out his duty.

"Under his able leadership, the troops cleared the ambush resulting in the killing of scores of terrorists and recovery of weapons and equipment.

"Sadly, however, he was wounded in action and immediately evacuated by the Air Task Force Operation LAFIYA DOLE to the 7 Division Hospital at Maimalari Cantonment. "The late senior officer was recuperating well after a successful operation at the hospital, in good spirit, and also said his prayers in the early hours of this morning before his sad passing on at the hospital. May Almighty Allah grant his soul eternal rest. Ameen," the communique read in part.

The TV also stressed that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen TY Buratai, expressed his heartfelt condolences to the deceased's esteemed family, on behalf of himself, gallant troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, and all well-meaning Nigerians. The COAS said: "We are most grateful for his contributions and sacrifices to the motherland. "May God grant eternal rest to the gentle soul of Col DC Bako and the souls of all Nigerian Army officers and soldiers who paid the supreme prize in the defence of our farther land."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that about 10 people were killed and many others kidnapped by suspected Boko Haram insurgents in Borno state. It was reported that the incident was said to have happened around 7 pm in Wassaram village, Ngamdu Ward in Kaga local government area of the state.

Nigeria army are trying their best in all area they are working hard to save gurd the country they neglected their families and friends only to protect and serve the nation Nigeria.

They face bokoharam in a battle between life or dead and some of these nobles officers lost their life along the line and no one care about those things they live behind such as children, wife ,parents and so on.

We have lost so many soldier in Nigeria most especially army officer , and we are a wear that our government have hand in bokoharam issues if not they supposed to have bring them down since all these years.

All security agency in Nigeria are trying their best to bring back peace and unity in Nigeria but the challenges they are facing is unpredictable.

The Nigeria army is a military agency which has to be well treated and motivated , our soldiers are laying down their life to make sure they protect us in the country, our soldiers sacrifice their own life to protect the country as a whole.

It is a pity that soldiers who lost their life along the way are been forgot by the government and this Is bad it should not be like that, army are the back bone of the country.

I there is no army the country has finished , facing war front is not a joke it a matter between life and dead , the killing of our army to much many life are been lost on the battle field.

Bokoharam are terrorist groups which attack the country general and cause a general problem to the country widely , bokoharam attacks and kill innocent people who are living their life peacefuly hey kill them suddenly .
Only soldiers can face terrorist then nobody else , they should be given special treat and honour .
Whenever anyone die on the battle field there should be a proper plan made for the family and the children.
