It’s not yet confirmed if the soldiers were killed in a fresh ambush or they were among the security operatives that died when Boko Haram attacked Governor Zulum’s convoy, however, tributes began to pour in on Wednesday, September 30.
Members of Atani community, in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State, where Victor Uzoka hailed from, took to Facebook to mourn him.
“Rest in peace a gallant soldier, Ebuka ezogbo onye Atatni. Boko Haram have cut a promising life short, We all cry for this loss. Jee nke oma nwanne” a member of the community wrote.
Another Nigerian soldier, Halid Hassan, described Uchenna Anyanwu’s death as painful while reminiscing on their time together during an operation in Maiduguri.
“Anyanwu aka 68 Rsm, we were side by side in Maiduguri then on a particular movement and all you were doing that day was preaching and quoting the Bible for me. You demise really pain me. Rest on brother till we meet to part no more” Hassan wrote.
