Here's a family photo of the soldier whose bravery, gallantry and commitment in the counter-insurgency operations against Boko Haram his colleagues have been saluting.
He was the self-styled Sarkin Yaki (lord of war), Lt-Col Muhammad Abu Ali who was killed during an attack by the insurgents on Friday.
He was reputed to have played decisive roles in retaking some of Boko Haram's former strongholds. With his T 72 tank, he is reported to have always told his troops to do 5% of the work while he did 95%.
Because of his exceptional bravery, Sarkin Yaki was given an accelerated promotion from the rank of Major to Lt-Col in September 2015.
