The immediate past Theater Commander Operation LAFIYA DOLE, North East, Major General Yusha'u Mahood Abubakar on Tuesday died in a ghastly auto crash along Maiduguri/ Damaturu.
The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 3 division of the Nigerian Army, Jos, Brigadier General Muhammed Aliyu, was also involved in the auto-crash but survived with serious injuries
The cause of the accident is yet to be ascertained. Both the GOC and his driver including late Yushau Mahmood were brought to the Emergency ward of the General Sani Abacha Specialist hospital Damaturu under heavy military security guard before they were conveyed back to Maiduguri to be flown to Abuja for proper medical attention.
Reports reveal that Mahmood was going to Damaturu from Abuja for the graduation of a special military force currently being trained in the troubled Buni Yadi area of Yobe State in northeast Nigeria. On his arrival, according to the report, Mahmood was received at the Maiduguri International Airport by Aliyu, from where they embarked on the ill-fated journey.
The Deputy Governor of Yobe State, Abubakar Aliyu, in company of the Secretary to the State Government, Baba Wali, the State Police Commissioner, Zanna Ibrahim, the Head of Service of Yobe State, Dauda Yahaya, and other sympathisers have visited the Damaturu Specialist Hospital.
