In a powerful and poignant tribute, the Nigerian Army has immortalized the legacy of one of its bravest officers, Major A.G. Mohammed, by naming the entrance of the 17 Brigade barracks in Katsina after him. The renaming ceremony, which took place earlier this week, was a solemn yet inspiring event, drawing the presence of senior military officials, comrades, and the family of the late Major.
Zagazola Makama, a respected security analyst and counterinsurgency expert, broke the news on his official social media X channel, praising the Army’s decision to honor a man whose life and service embodied unwavering dedication and bravery. Major Mohammed’s heroism and leadership, tragically cut short in the line of duty, left an indelible mark on those who served alongside him.
Leading the ceremony, Brigade Commander Brigadier General A.A. Bature delivered an emotional address, reflecting on Major Mohammed’s profound impact on the military community. “Major A.G. Mohammed was not just an officer; he was a beacon of courage and a true patriot,” Brigadier General Bature remarked. “His name now graces the entrance of this barracks as a lasting testament to his sacrifice, a reminder to all who enter here of the heights of service and integrity to which we all aspire.”
The newly christened “Major A.G. Mohammed Way” stands as more than just a name; it is a living tribute to a fallen hero whose spirit will continue to inspire future generations of soldiers. As the sun sets each day over the 17 Brigade barracks, the memory of Major A.G. Mohammed will shine on, a guiding light for those who follow in his footsteps.
Rest in peace, hero. Your legacy endures.
