“The people of Damboa called him Sarkin Yaki (King of War). But Captain MM Hassan was much more. BHT dreaded him to the extent that Shekau placed a 10 million Naira bounty on him.
“Hassan was tough as a nail. 2 years after his death in 2018, I met a corporal in Gwoza, who drove him for most of his operations. The soldier was smiling all through & he said something that touched me.
“’Sarki dey smile everytime. E talk say nothing worth person cry’.
“He said MM Hassan was the toughest officer he ever knew.
‘”I happy say I pass through that Oga.”
“He told me of an incident where Hassan fought through an ambush to rescue him. After then, he never thought Hassan was human until 5 Janary 2018.
“On 5 January 2018, MM Hassan died from a detonated grenade in the midst of gunfight with terrorists.
“May his soul continue to rest in peace.
