Nigeria Army Has Lost A Hero, My Father Is Gone. by chucky234(m): 3:25pm On Aug 15, 2014 |
My father who is one of the senior officers attached to the 3 Division of the special force in Damaturu who were ambushed of the 27th day of July. The soldiers were attacked based on info supplied to them by moles in the army, they were surrounded but decided to fight and die galantly and put up a fierce fight with the insurgents for 2hrs until the were out of amunition and was shot by the insurgents who were more than three hundred in number. My father gave up the ghost on the 30th of July due to multiple gunshots sustained, until his death he was one of the bravest and finest soldiers to have graced the Nigeria army. . He was due to retire in January 2015 but he chose to fight and die for his fatherland, the master of MPG and heavy weapons. 149 Battalion, 3 Division and the entire Nigeria Army has lost one of its bravest and fearless soldier. He spent four years fighting in Liberia and three years in Sierra Leone as one of the Nigeria contigents to ECOMOG. He also spent three years in Bakasi civil war, one year in Ivory Coast, three years in Bayelsa/Warri as part of the JTF to curb militants activities in the Niger Delta. He spent two years in Borno/Yobe fighting the Boko Haram menace, he was giving a national burial along with other fallen heroes today in Bauchi state.. . MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST IN PEACE. 157 Likes |

Such a sad story. When are they going to declare an all out war on those animals and destroy every living and non living thing in that area? |

A great fighter he was. A dependable fearless military man. If he were not dependable he wouldnt have been sent to all the places mentioned in that short profile. I agree with the profile that he was fearless. Rest In Peace, gallant soldier. I pray the Lord will keep all of you that he has left behind. Once again, RIP. 6 Likes |

barcanista: Your Father Was Born To Die For The Country!He called me some weeks back and was complaining about the poor and inadequate amunition given to them, in Liberia and Sierra Leone was more than enough bullets for them to fight with but here they are given 30 to 60 bullets each day. The current Commander in Chief, GEJ is not helping the nation, just 45 solidiers engaged 300 insurgents in a fiearce gun battle for 2 whole hours yet no land or air backup. The soldiers fought till they ran out of bullets yet didnt run away but chose to die, this country is not worth dying for. 24 Likes |

Take heart bro. Meanwhile, since there are obvious moles in NA especially among those fighting insurgents, why can't the relevant authority monitor the soldiers communication? NA should use modern technology and intelligent gathering for once. 6 Likes |

Sorry for your loss. Your father was right....you may have gotten him wrong though. About 2 -3 magazines are always given to soldiers, not the way u put it. This is still grossly inadequate......cos those animals come prepared with more than enough amo. Most soldiers that are KIA sometimes get killed cos they have exhausted thier amo. I have kept maintaining the position that if the FG and top shots in the Army are done feasting on the security budget....they will flush out this lunatics. Nigerian Army is more than capable of flushing those lunatics out 7 Likes |

But please Jonathan does not assign bullet allocation, the Generals do. The Generals are the ones that strategize with the President giving them direction on what he expects. The President should have done more but the Generals are the Biggest Failures. The President need to overhaul the army. We need to fish out the moles within and the President need to order for more troops rather than convert soldiers to Election army. I feel for your family, but life Goes on!!!

Anyway, I am patiently waiting for the December deadline they gave to the terrorists before an all out war is declared against them. Although December is too close to the election and Jonathan's motives might be seen as political. 2 Likes |

C0llynz0ii:That is one issue with Jonathan-Timing. His Motive may be sincere but the timing look political, but we must support him to flush this BH. As long as this War is concerned We all should give the President and the Military our Maximum support. I also hope that the Military do not wane and flush out the terrorists before the december deadline. As for exCOAS Ihejirika, I honestly don't see reasons for the criticisms. We should allow the Army to do their jobs.. Terrorists are not activists.They need serious whipping. |

I also hope that the Military do not wane and flush out the terrorists before the december deadline.To be honest, I don't expect them to flush out the terrorists with the current defensive tactics they are using, only an all out war will do that. It is also unfortunate that the terrorists kidnapped those girls to use as human shield, I don't know how the military plans to go about that. This thing should have been done long before those girls were kidnapped, but the politicians and the ''genocide accusers'' didn't allow that to happen, see where it has led us. They might have to choose between 200 girls and tens of thousands of people dying at the end... 1 Like |
