The photos which were shared by a Facebook user, Aliyu Ibrahim, depicts the story of a soldier who is called to the battle ground and has to leave a young wife and children back home. In the series, it appears the wife gets the message of her husband's death and is left with the kids to mourn their tragic loss.

Ibrahim shared the photos with the caption: "Live of a soldier...His going out is known, his coming back is not sure....May God forgive the sins of the fallen and accept their soul and condole the families they left behind."
