Former President Obasanjo's Son Shot In Mubi By Boko Haram by Dahkogrin007(m): 1:55am On Sep 09, 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. Adeboye Obasanjo, an army engineer, is 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. 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. SOURCE: SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK

That is just projecting the reality of the situation on ground. A lieutenant Colonel worth his onions should expect that. Wish him and other injured combatants quick and permanent recovery. And to the dead, let the light shine bright on their soul across the Jordan river. R.I.P. BTW.... He's paternity needs no DNA test. |
