The remains of the slain Army Commander, Colonel Husseini Samaila Sankara, were yesterday laid to rest at the Guards Brigade Cemetery amidst tears and emotion by relatives, colleagues and friends.
Sankara died on July 1, 2021 in Abuja due to complications from injuries sustained in the North-east Theatre Operation Hadin Kai when his vehicle ran into landmines laid by insurgents on May 30, 2021.
The late senior officer was said to have completed his tour of the North-east and was about moving to the next assignment in the North-central before his vehicle encountered landmines along with six soldiers, who died instantly.
