Brigadier General Abu Ali, a former Military Governor of Bauchi State and a traditional ruler in Kogi State, has passed away.
The late General was the father of the renowned and gallant soldier, Lieutenant Muhammad Abu Ali, who was killed in action during a fierce battle with Boko Haram insurgents in Maiduguri.
The younger Abu Ali was widely celebrated for his bravery and military prowess in the fight against terrorism.
Brigadier General Abu Ali’s legacy is thus deeply intertwined with Nigeria’s military history, marked by both his own service and the ultimate sacrifice of his son.
The announcement of his passing has been met with an outpouring of tributes, with many offering prayers for the repose of his soul and for all the faithful departed.
