The Prince Who Became Nigeria’s War King… Then Paid the Ultimate Price
He was born on 15 August 1980 in Kogi State. A prince of the Bassa Nge people. His father was Brigadier General Abu Ali who later became the traditional ruler of their kingdom.
He attended Command Secondary School in Jos. Then entered the Nigerian Defence Academy in 1998 as part of the 50th Regular Course. In September 2003 the army commissioned him as a second lieutenant into the armour corps.
He served with the United Nations in Liberia and in Darfur. Those missions taught him duty and calm under fire. But the real test came at home in the northeast.
People called him the War King. BK Killer. Giwan Maza.
He took command of the 272 Tank Battalion. For four straight years he stayed at the front line with no leave at all. Before every battle he prayed with his soldiers. When the shooting started he was always the first one out front.
February 2015 changed everything. Boko Haram had seized Baga. Hundreds of people were killed. He was still a major then. He told his men you handle only five percent of the fight. My tanks and I will handle the rest. They rolled in and took the town back. After the victory his soldiers lifted him high on their shoulders. They shouted for him to be promoted to colonel on the spot.
September 2015 the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai flew to the battlefield. He pinned the lieutenant colonel rank on him right there and gave him the gallantry award. The whole unit cheered.
He helped recapture Monguno. Gamboru Ngala. Mubi. Gwoza. One town after another returned to the people because of his tanks and his courage.
He was humble. He was calm. He was deeply religious. His soldiers loved him like a big brother. At home he had a wife named Samira and three young children. Fatimah who they called Mimi. Mohammed they called Abba. And little Yasmin. They waited for him in the quiet moments he never really had.
Then came the night of 4 November 2016.
It was around 10 pm in Malam Fatori. Boko Haram launched a sudden ambush on the forward base. Bullets flew everywhere. Explosions shook the ground.
He looked at his men and said the words that still break hearts. If anyone must die tonight let it be me. He stepped forward into the open to draw the fire away from them. Bullets hit him again and again.
Even as he lay dying he whispered to those around him. I do not think I will make it. I am proud to have carried out my duty. I pray that Nigerians remember my sacrifice.
He was only 36 years old.
Six other soldiers died with him that night. But the rest held the line. They pushed the attackers back.
The army buried him on 7 November 2016 at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja with full honours. They promoted him to full colonel after death.
Today his name lives on. Soldiers still speak of the War King who gave everything. Towns he helped free are slowly coming back to life. Families farm and fish again because men like him stood in the gap.
He left a wife and three small children who will grow up knowing their father chose Nigeria over his own life.
This is the story of Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Abu Ali. A prince who became a hero. A father who never came home. A soldier whose last words still make grown men cry.
If this touches you remember him today. Drop a salute below. Share so his children one day see how the whole country mourned their dad. He gave his life so others could have theirs back.
Rest in peace War King. Nigeria will never forget. 🇳🇬

Yesterday we paid tribute to Lt. Col. Muhammad Abu Ali (the fearless tank commander of the 272 Task Force Tank Battalion), who led daring operations against Boko Haram, reclaimed towns, and died in that heroic 2016 ambush at Mallam Fatori after famously telling his troops,
“Gentlemen… if at all someone may go down, let me be the one.” His story is pure inspiration
rank didn’t matter; duty and Nigeria came
Today let’s pay a tribute to perfect parallel another high-ranking officer who made that same ultimate sacrifice in the exact same theater
Are we ready?

The Generals Final Ride: A Heart-Shattering Tale of a Commander Who Refused to Send His Men Where He Would Not Go.
The dusty roads of southern Borno had seen too many goodbyes. But none like the one that unfolded on Saturday, 13 November 2021. Dawn had barely broken over Askira town when the thunder of gun trucks shattered the morning quiet. ISWAP terrorists swept in, torching homes, shops, and a school, sending terrified families fleeing into the bush.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Bullets filled the air as soldiers on the ground fought desperately for their lives.
At his headquarters in Chibok, Brigadier General Dzarma Kennedy Zirkusu, Commander of the 28 Task Force Brigade under Operation Hadin Kai, heard the urgent radio calls. He could have stayed behind in safety like many commanders would. Generals rarely charged straight into battle. Yet Zirkusu was cut from different cloth.
Born on 23 September 1971 in Garaha village, Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State, the very same soil that produced former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha, he had been commissioned into the Nigerian Army on 21 September 1996 as a second lieutenant from the 43 Regular Course Infantry. He rose steadily through the ranks and was promoted Brigadier General in September 2020. For years he had led from the front in the counter-insurgency campaign, conducting clearance operations that liberated villages across southern Borno and restored hope to devastated communities.
🫡🫡🫡His soldiers adored him. He shared their meals, their dangers, and their hardships. They knew he would never ask them to go where he himself would not go. Senator Ali Ndume once called him the major obstacle standing in the way of the terrorists.
That terrible morning the general faced a choice. Without hesitation he gathered reinforcements, climbed into his vehicle, and sped toward the fighting along the Chibok road. His men needed him. He would not let them face the enemy alone.
The ambush came suddenly and brutally. Terrorists rammed a vehicle into the convoy and unleashed a storm of gunfire. In the desperate counteroffensive that followed, Brigadier General Dzarma Kennedy Zirkusu and three brave soldiers paid the ultimate price. Their action defended the location and took down several terrorists. But the nation lost one of its finest officers. At the time he was the highest-ranking soldier ever killed in the Boko Haram and ISWAP insurgency.
President Muhammadu Buhari spoke with deep sorrow, saying he was extremely saddened by the demise of Brigadier General Dzarma Zirkusu and the three soldiers. Nigeria has lost brave soldiers. I salute their courage. General Zirkusu leaves us sad and devastated.
In Adamawa State his wife and children waited for news that would never bring him home. The pain spread through military families and communities like a wound that refused to heal.
Days later, on 26 November 2021, Nigeria gathered to bid him farewell. Mourners filled Saint Stephens Protestant Church in Yola with heavy hearts and silent tears. At the military cemetery of 23 Brigade the flag-draped coffins were lowered with full honors. Soldiers stood at attention saluting through blurred eyes. Adamawa Governor Umaru Fintiri renamed a major street in Yola after the fallen general and supported the grieving families financially.
Brigadier General Dzarma Kennedy Zirkusu did not fall from the safety of a distant post. He died on the very ground where his men bled because he believed no rank exempted a true leader from sacrifice. He left behind brokenhearted loved ones, troops who spoke his name with reverence, and an entire nation forever changed by his courage.
Even now when the wind moves across that lonely Chibok road one can almost feel the presence of a commander who gave everything so others might live in peace. His story brings tears because it reminds us what real heroism costs. A husband, a father, and a patriot who chose his men above his own life.

Today we mourn the gallant soldiers who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty in the past week while defending the nation. These brave men stood firm against terrorists, fighting with courage and determination to defend our nation and protect innocent lives. In the face of danger, they refused to retreat confronting evil head-on and neutralising several terrorists. Death To Terror-Monsters, MopDemAll
