The family of Lieutenant Felix Ademe Isaac, the 28-year-old Nigerian Army officer killed during the operation that rescued abducted teachers and pupils in Oyo State, has expressed deep grief, describing his death as a painful loss to both the family and the nation.
Lt. Isaac lost his life while leading troops during the military operation that secured the release of dozens of abducted teachers and schoolchildren from Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State after 56 days in captivity.
His father, Mr. Isaac Alabura, a retired Master Warrant Officer, said the family was still struggling to come to terms with the tragedy. 
Speaking to Daily Trust at his residence in Bachure Quarters, Yola, Adamawa State, Alabura described his late son as “the hope of the family and the community.”
