A Nigerian Soldier, Emmy Benison has shared a touching story of how he was wrongly accused of telling his close friend to kill himself in the war front. Emmy says on that fateful day, his friend shot himself after he was shot twice by Boko Haram. News was later spread to his newly wedded wife and kid that he was the one who told him to kill himself to end his pain.

“This is not just a story of what happened,i just wana clear the air…we have known each other since training days bt after 4yrs we met again at d Frontline..I always reserve one ammo fr myself if incase tinx gets out of hand,I will rather pull the trigger to my head than get caught alive by Boko Haram and I always tell him abt it…..on dat day tinx went out of hand ad my friend was shot twice but still breathing ad was eager to kip fighting bt he was out of ammo ad i had an extra magazine so i gave it to him but instead he shot himself ad i swear to God almighty,I never saw dat coming..news got to his newly wedded wife ad kid abt his death ad some agent of darkness said i told him to kill himself in order to end his pain..how can i be aving such conversation while engaging
