The post was made by Mubarak A J Saagbul on Thursday.
Checks on the post on Facebook indicate that the soldier had passed out in the first week on June this year, perhaps on June 6, 2018.

Though we cannot say when exactly Yakubu died, it is believed that the death might have occurred on June 7.
He died in an accident when he was being transported to his unit of service at the back of a truck, according to Mr. Saagbul.
Mr. Saagbul sadly wrote on Facebook: “You chose the career of your dream. Just a day after passing out, you lose your life. What an anticlimax to a hopeful life. May Allah bless you with rest my brother.”

The death of this young soldier, Yakubu, also reminds Ghanaians of the painful death of the twenty-eight-year-old Lance Corporal Francis Atsu Vondee, who died with Ebony on February 8, 2018.
Atsu’s death also rocked the nation, especially his twin sister Francisca Atsupe, and other family members.
