Nigerian Army Captain killed by bandits, nine months after wedding

Bandits have killed Captain Ibrahim Yibranii Yohana of the Nigerian Army, nine months after his wedding.

The officer, who hailed from Kaduna State, married his wife, Jossy Happiness, on November 4, 2023.

Details of the incident remain unclear at this time. However, the news has prompted an outpouring of grief from family members, colleagues, and friends who are mourning the loss of the gallant officer.

“Another hero has gone down by bandits. Oh God, we pray for mercy and your comfort to the entire family. Our hearts are bleeding, Lord,” Lucy Adadevoh in a Facebook post on Sunday, August 11, 2024.

“Hmmm…my beloved Predecessor back then in ABU Zaria (ESM), a very dedicated Organist who loves God, as troubleless as he was, I was surprised to hear he joined the Nigerian Army .. From Maiduguri to Lagos etc & then Niger state.. Unfortunately I heard the sad story of your departure from this realm of life.. U lost ur younger sister, elder brother & now u are gone. May the LORD comfort us all.. We’ll miss u dearly beloved Captain Ibrahim Yohanna (Presido Commando). Sai mu zo,” one Genesis Kaboshio Akau, wrote.
