A picture of gallant Nigerian soldiers who held their rifle while holding a praise and worship service in a church in the northern part of Nigeria whey they are stationed to battle against the Boko Haram insurgents have been trending online for some reason.
According to reports, despite the hostility in the troubled area, the soldiers never fail to hold church service to thank God for the gift of life and pray for protection as they also never forget to bring their guns along in case of emergency.
This is not the first time something like this has happened.
Some time ago, while Nigerians celebrated the Christmas from the comfort of their homes, some soldiers far away in the northeast partook in the festivity at the battlefield.
The soldiers celebrated the Xmas on Sunday in a makeshift church located in a bush in Borno state.
