The family of the deceased said that the death of the murdered military officer was a monumental loss to them, Kogi and Nigeria at large.
Dan Maliki of Lokoja, Alhaji Danladi Abdulsalam, and the head of the family have expressed sorrow over the demise of the captain, describing him as a hero who died while serving his fatherland.
Speaking on the last moment of the captain, another family member, Alhaji Musa Tanimu Nasidi, said that the demise of the military officer was a reminder of the heavy price being paid by officials of the Armed Forces who are defending the country.
In a solitary voice, Nasidi explained that the last moment of the deceased on earth was his phone conversation with his wife before he was murdered. He disclosed that the captain told his wife that he was returning with his colleagues from a routine patrol around Garaga, Kyaram, Gyambau community and promised to be back shortly.
His statement reads in part:
“After hours of waiting for his return, his wife called his special line to find out the situation, to no success. Shortly after, a voice, claiming to be his assailant, called his wife, using his special cellphone in their custody, and told her that her husband had been killed."
