A soldier, Emmy Benison, who is in Borno state fighting against Boko Haram recently took to social media to lament how he lost his girlfriend of four years to another man, as he was busy in battle field.

Benison said he has been away for 2 years but was hoping on coming home someday to make his girlfriend smile again. He got the shock of his life as he woke up to see pictures of her wedding without any prior knowledge that she wants to move on with another man.

He cried but has to move on as heartbreak isn’t allowed in the battle field.
