adino: The son of former president Olusegun Obasanjo, Lt Col Adeboye Obasanjo, who was shot and wounded by Boko Haram militants in a fight in Adamawa State Monday has been discharged from hospital, officials at the Federal Medical Centre said in Yola yesterday. However, it emerges yesterday that a colonel in the Nigerian Army is feared killed in the current offensive against Boko Haram insurgents in Adamawa state. The officer, whose name was simply given as Col Yakubu, was reportedly shot and killed in the same operation in which Lt Col Adeboye Obasanjo was wounded over the weekend. The family members of Col Yakubu who have become aware of the incident are now said to be in Yola, concerned that their son may have been dead already, Daily Trust reports.
They are said to be asking for true information about the colonel and requesting as well that his whereabouts be disclosed to them dead or alive. When contacted yesterday the Defence spokesman Major General Chris Olukolade said, the officer in question is considered Missing in Action. Obasanjo’s son was injured in Bazza, northern Adamawa State during a failed bid by troops to re-take the town from Boko Haram insurgents.
He was taken to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) where he spent two days receiving treatment. “He had a minor injury and he was treated and discharged,” a senior official said. “He received the best attention that we could possibly offer and he responded quickly.” Security concerns also contributed to his early discharge, the source said, disclosing that it was the military top brass who suggested that he should be discharged and flown out of the state.
The Information Officer of the FMC Malam Adamu Dodo confirmed the story, stressing that both his speedy recovery and the security factor contributed to his early release. “There is also the issue of his safety given the attention the story has been getting”, he said. The case has been receiving huge public attention and high profile personalities have been visiting him. Meanwhile, additional details have emerged on how the former president’s son was shot and wounded by the militants.

Bluetooth2:

The same coward that chased Ojuku out of Biafra to Ivory Coast; the same coward that dealt a big fatality to the defunct biafran army leading to the end of the war ? Something must be wrong with your brain dude.

The was shot but he's still here to tell his story and even eager to go back to the battlefield. He's a soldier from a wealthy family, how many of your likes can do that ?

whatlyf: This is a BEER PARLOUR RUMOR. Who is the UNNAMED SOURCE.
NONSENSE

whatlyf: I heard that Coward-General Odumegu Ojukwu, the Eze Wuruwuru made his Sons to Swear an oath NEVER to join any uniform outfit including Boys Scout and Boys Brigade because of his "Pleasant" experience in the period btw 1967 and 1970

nwaanambra1: if he was shot in the buttocks

then he was facing the opposite direction where the bullet was coming

if he was facing the opposite direction of the bullet

then 2 things are involve (1) either he was retreating to a better vantage or

(2) he was retreating to save his life so as to fight another day

therefore in any of the above scenario, the fact still remains that he was running away from action.

In conclusion - It is proved beyond reasonable doubt that Col Obasanjo was running away from an action that he couldn't handle.

Therefore, he ran from action despite orders to stand and fight to the last man standing.

AS A COLONEL, HE IS EXPECTED TO GIVE COURAGE TO HIS MEN BY STANDING AND FIGHTING TO THE FINISH!

It is proven beyond reasonable doubt that HE IS A COWARD AND DESERVES A COURT MARTIAL! QED!










But sha! na Nigeria and na northrn Nigeria - it is not worth dieing for!
