A Nigerian soldier identified as Akinola Ola Rotimi on Facebook recently expressed gratitude over the opportunity to serve the country and still be alive. He revealed that himself and 61 other gallant officers were sent on a special assignment to the northeast.
Right before proceeding on the journey, he knelt by an altar and asked God to take them and bring them back safely.
Full of gratitude, the soldier went back to the altar to thank his creator for answering his prayers and for guiding him and his team mates all through the mission.
