Slain Brig.-Gen. Oseni Braimah was on call with his twin brother, Alasa Braimah, when the terror attack that eventually claimed his life hit.
A relative of the Edo State-born Braimah disclosed this in a chat with the media on Thursday.
The Commander of the 29 Task Force Brigade was killed alongside his soldiers in a midnight terrorist attack on the Brigade Headquarters in Benisheikh, Borno State, on April 9, 2026.

The slain military personnel were laid to rest in Borno State on Wednesday.
The relative said the general and his United Kingdom-based twin brother had a routine of speaking at night.
The relative said, “Braimah was a set of twins. His twin brother is not here in Nigeria. They are identical twins and are very close. They spoke, almost every day. They started speaking after midnight, as usual, when, suddenly, the General paused, apparently because of some unusual movement at his end. After that, the line went dead.”
He added, “His twin brother’s repeated efforts to reach him failed. He kept calling and sending text messages, but there was no response. The General did not answer again.”
