The sad story has been told of the Nigerian soldier who went missing only to be found dead two days later.
A Nigerian soldier has been reported dead just two days after he was declared missing in action.

The soldier identified as captain O. J. Sola Michael Akingbesote, went missing one Friday, causing panic among colleagues, family and friends. However, he was found dead two days later on Sunday.

He has since been buried.

The death of Captain Akingbesote was reported by his close friend, Alfred Thomas, who lamented bitterly on Facebook.

According to Alfred Thomas, he still feels like he is dreaming and can hardly believe what has happened.

Below is how he paid tribute to his friend (sic):

“My Brother Late captain O.J Sola Michael Akingbesote,when I heard u missed in Action last Friday and your body was found on sunday, I never believed.

“I went to see Captain Shabi and Captain Okon and argued there was a mix Up from somewhere,not untill this morning that I saw ur body my self,pls some one should wake me Up and tell me am dreaming,I can’t imagine not having u side by side with me again,i can’t imagine your absence in our usual get together.

“Charles Okponaviobo could not contain the shock till this very moment,as we journey together yesterday to attend ur burial and driving back to Lagos today,I can’t even find a good word to console him.

“If your wife was allowed today,she wount mind clinging to u.When I also took ur boy to pee today,he saw ur burial program in my hands,ur picture was there,I asked him who is this referring to your picture,he said Daddy,and d next thing he said was Daddy went to Abuja,I nodded my head in agony n truly wish u went to Abuja. The news of ur death Ve devastated many souls.

“The only consolation I Ve is that I am very sure u r by the right hand side of Jesus, U will forever be remembered in my entire life.U are an angel in the guise of a brother,if it’s possible to come to the world a second time,I will like to be born from same womb with u.

Pls my brother,be sure that Gods willing David will be well taken care of,by the grace of God,I shall not be far from your wife Magistrate Oluwatosin Mike-Akingbesote.
