Again, Army loses another major to bandits’ attack in Katsina

Another officer of the Nigerian Army has lost his life to bandits’ attacks in Katsina State.

This coming just one week after Nigerian Army lost two captains and four other soldiers in a deadly ambush in Niger State.

Zagazola Makama, a security analyst and counterinsurgency specialist, reported that Major AG Mohammed passed away on Friday while battling bandits.

“The news of the demise of Major Ag Mohammed of 17 brigade Katsina state, Operation Hadarin DAJI, is indeed heart wrenching.

”Mohammed paid the supreme price while combating bandits in the North West of Katsina State. Until his death he serves as the command Covering yantumaki,Dan Ali and Kankara Axis. He was one of the most gallant, courageous and highly dedicated officers.

Nigeria has lost many gallant officers and soldiers to the bullets of Boko Haram (BH) insurgents, banditry, and other insecurities.

We therefore acknowledge with respect the services of our heroes—some of whom we admire for their courage, and outstanding achievements coupled with noble qualities that have laid down their lives for us to live,” the security expert said in a post on X handle.
