Former President Obasanjo's Son Shot In Mubi By Boko Haram by Ktwice(m): 8:38pm On Sep 08, 2014
Boko Haram militants attacked a
platoon led by the son of former
Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo,
shooting him today. He sustained
serious injuries to his legs and was
being transported to the hospital at the
time of this report.
Lt. Col. Adeboye Obasanjo
Adeboye Obasanjo, an army engineer,
was a Lieutenant Colonel at the 3rd
Division in Jos, Plateau State.
He and his platoon were engaged with
Boko Haram militants at Baza, which
is the village of the General Officer
Commanding (GOC) of the 3rd division
when the incident took place. The
Lieutenant Agwu of the 234 battalion,
GOC of the 3rd Division, Major Gen JS
Zaruwa and Colonel Victor Ebhaleme
who serves as the Brigade
Commander of the 23rd Army brigade
in Yola were all together advancing
towards Michika when Boko Haram
fighters unleashed the deadly attack
on the soldiers.
24 soldiers in the platoon were
reportedly killed by the militants.
Apart from the dead soldiers, the
army also lost an armored tank to the
militants. As a result of the attack, the
army has moved sensitive weapons
from mubi to the Brigade headquarters
in Yola leaving mubi vulnerable to
attack. The town of Mubi has
practically been deserted following the
closure of schools and massive retreat
of soldiers from the city.
The former president is currently
traveling in Singapore according to
family sources.
