Nigeria Army General Mahmood Abubakar Dies in a Car crash

According to the army spokesperson, Colonel Kukasheka Usman, who made the announcement via a Facebook post on Tuesday, March 8, 2016, the Chief of Training and Operations Major General Yusha’u Mahmood Abubakar and the acting General Officer commanding 3 Division of the army, Brigadier General MSA Aliyu, were both involved in a fatal car accident. However, only the training chief was reported to have lost his life in the ugly incident which may cause a setback for the troops in its war against insurgency in the country. He wrote:
