President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has expressed sadness over the death of Lieutenant Colonel Muhammed Abu-Ali, who was killed in an ambush by the Boko Haram terrorists last week and described the late officer as a patriot who lost his life in the defense of his fatherland.
Late Lt. Col.
“The death of Lt. Colonel Ali is a big burden that this nation is bearing in the bid to restore peace to all parts. We have lost hundreds of our security operatives and innocent Nigerians in the struggle. My heart goes out to Ali’s young wife and three children. My heart also goes out to Ali’s father, Brig. Gen. Abu Ali (rtd) who had equally served the nation as a soldier.
“His death came at a time our loyal and courageous troops are flushing out the last vestiges of the terrorists from the Northeast. We shall sorely miss late Ali’s bravery, courage and inspirational leadership,” Saraki stated.
