Tribute to a Soldier who died during the recent rescue operation of kidnapped girls & women from Boko Haram

A Nigerian soldier/member of the Armed Forces Special Force, Francis Adigun (pictured), lost his life during the recent rescue operation of women and children from Boko Haram, leaving behind his only daughter Sonia and her mother.

Described as a loving father, wonderful friend, caring brother, great footballer and gallant soldier, a friend - Adewole Pius Adesina paid a tribute to him via Social media. It reads,
"He paid the supreme price, he gave his life for the freedom of others. While rescued women and girls were reunited with their families, he is parted from his forever. I sit here still finding it hard to believe you are gone. Let us always remember freedom comes at a price and let us also remember those who paid the price. He was a loving father, a wonderful friend, a caring brother, a great footballer and above all, a gallant soldier. Rest in Peace Francis Adigun, I will miss you, your family and friends will miss you, the Armed Forces Special Force will miss you. @seal of honour'
May His soul rest in Peace. Amen.

RIP Bro. Though I did not know you in person but we all can be connected in spirit. Thus I will dedicate my Divine Mercy prayers this week for your soul to RIP and for God to allow you passage into Heaven. Also for your wife and daughter to have the fortitude to bear your loss. To them I confidently say you are in a better place for fighting gallantly to protect us from such evil.

My amiable coursemate, rugged combatant, regular! Your sacrifice will not be in vain, i promise you. We will blast these motherfuckers back to the pit of hell they came out from, we will regain and rebuild our country, Sonia and her children will never have to live amidst fear and bloodshed. The unity of Nigeria is not negotiable, we will do what it takes to defend this country and our people, this is why we are alive, this is why we gave up sleep. #soldier'screed#.

80 percent of the soldiers in the south are hausas, while they deploy our young men to fight the stupid war in their own part of the country, yet their hausa soldiers are here beating up innocent civilians and acting like animals. Rest in peace gallant soldier, may your blood hang over the heasa of those behind all these political fights.
