Olusegun Adeniyi Ambushed By Boko Haram by dre11(m): 8:23pm On Jan 07, 2020
By Olatunji Omirin,

Boko Haram insurgents on Monday night ambushed the convoy of the Theatre commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Major Gen. Olusegun Adeniyi. Olusegun Adeniyi, survived the attack which took place few kilometer away from Jakana, on Monday around 7: 20 pm.

According to a military source, the theatre commander was on his way back to Maiduguri after a visit to troops who were recently deployed to Jakana. The troops were deployed to Jakana in order to protect lives and property in the general area against Boko Haram attack.

“As we were coming back to Maiduguri after we left Jakana, suddenly we stated hearing gun shots all over the place. They bombarded us with heavy fire from different angle but our men with the Theatre commander successfully repelled the attack,” the source said. It was learnt that the vehicle of the theatre commandant was badly damaged, riddled with gun holes from the attack.

Driver feared dead’ as Boko Haram attacks army commander’s convoy


A driver attached to Olusegun Adeniyi, commander of operation Lafiya Dole, may have been killed in an attack by Boko Haram insurgents on the commander’s convoy, military sources have told TheCable.

The incident happened on Monday when Adeniyi, a major-general, was on his way back to Maiduguri after a visit to Jakana, Borno state, where the insurgents struck on Saturday.

Military sources in the area said the commander came to encourage troops to fight on, and on his way back around 7pm, the insurgents opened fire on his convoy.

“It was a heavy fire, and we learnt the commander’s driver may have died in the hospital,” one of the sources said.


Bullet hole

Confirming the attack, Aminu Iliyasu, army operations media coordinator, in a statement on Tuesday, said the commander led his men to repel the attack, and that wounded soldiers are responding to treatment at hospital.

“The Theatre Commander’s convoy came under the criminals ineffective and uncoordinated fire from Anti-Aircraft Guns, Machines Guns, Rocket Propelled Grenades and some of their foot soldiers about 2 Kilometers to Auno in Kaga LGA of Borno State while returning from Jakana where he visited troops’ location following his earlier meeting with the Executive Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum at Auno,” he said.

“In a commendable demonstration of bold action in battle, the Theatre Commander led the gallant troops of his convoy to engage the criminal Boko Haram Insurgents with superior fire power, subduing them and thereafter assaulting the ambush site with his men thereby causing the criminal insurgents to flee the location in disarray. Other senior military officers in the Theatre Commanders’ convoy at the time of the ambush include the Deputy Theatre Commander, Maj Gen MG Ali, Brig Gen EI Eze, Brig Gen SI Igbinomwanya and Lt AA Tejuoso.

”In the aftermath of the encounter, several Boko Haram criminal insurgents were decimated. Additionally, 20 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition, 2 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition, one camouflage trouser, one Nigeria Police Force fragmental jacket, 2 AK 47 Rifles and 3 AK 47 Rifle magazines were captured from the fleeing insurgents.

“Thereafter, the Theatre Commander Major General Olusegun Adeniyi and his convoy continued their trip and have since returned safely to the Headquarters Theatre Command Operation LAFIYA DOLE in Maiduguri. Regrettably, 2 soldiers were wounded in action during the encounter. The Wounded soldiers are currently receiving treatment at a military medical facility and are responding positively to treatment.”

Guess it's still the same "technically defeated/thoroughly downgraded BH" that "lacks the capacity to carry out major attacks" but that is still attacking "attacking soft targets"?

Geez! You guys are just so inherently mischevious!

Without any iota of evidence, see as you are quick to malign the theatre commanders' reputation with abject lies and misinformation. Why, oh why?

Thanks to dre11, who provided us with the true information else your fellow impish, hate-filled moronns would have jumped on the bandwagon to propagate these outright lies of yours as the "gospel truth".

Most likely the gunshots were happening in say Lagos Ibadan expressway while the theatre commander was somewhere in Ojota or even Maryland.
Maybe they heard about it and quickly made a detour through Ijebu Ode.
I highly doubt both sides came even close to seeing each other,talkless of a confrontation.
