Abdullahi Bhuwa Usman: Boko Haram kills young Nigerian soldier one month after his wedding

Abdullahi Bhuwa Usman,  a young Nigerian soldier who recently got married, has been killed by Boko Haram.

Usman was gunned down in Borno State by the terrorists barely one month after his wedding when the insurgents engaged the Nigerian military in a four-hour gun fire to take control of Dikwa, according to SaharaReporters.

It was gathered that attack happened a few hours after Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai handed over to Major General Ibrahim Attahiru as the Chief of Army Staff.

“I received the news of Usman’s death with deep shock. He just got married on December 27, 2020. I attended the wedding here in Lagos.

“Though he wasn’t in attendance physically because he was on duty, his family members and friends were all here and left with the wife to Borno State that same day.

“I still spoke with him last week and told him to take care of his wife; it’s just so sad. He was so jovial and caring,” a family member of the deceased was quoted as saying.
