The Defence Headquarters has disputed the authenticity of the latest Boko Haram video showing a captured Nigerian Airforce jet pilot, captured and beheaded by the insurgents, but the Nigerian Army Support Group on Facebook has already announced the death of the pilot, describing him as “a true Nigerian hero.”
The groups says, “It is with deep regret that we announce the death of a true Nigerian hero, Wing Commander Chimda Hedima (1975-2014).
“This is his story. Read it, share it. This man was a hero of the highest order.
“On 11/09/14, a company of NA soldiers attempted to overrun a BH position in Borno. Due to the low altitude, the plane suffered significant damage from the terrorists’ gunfire. Wing Commander Hedima and his partner realised that they were going to crash.
“They, instead of hurriedly parachuting to safety within Nigerian controlled territory, chose to embark on a mission to destroy as many terrorists and their weapons as possible. They parachuted out at the last minute but not before ensuring their plane slammed into a column of terrorists; 63 Boko Haram members were killed as a result of their bravery.
“Wing Commander Hedima was captured. On 12/09/14, he was killed.
“He chose Nigeria, he chose all of us. We cannot forget him. Please share his story. His name should be known by everyone.
“Rest in peace Commander, we are grateful. May you find eternal peace. Thank you for your service.”
Since the group posted the announcement on its group page, tributes have not ceased pouring in.
Olatunde Eyitayo Titus, writes, “Great soldier indeed….R I P…..Why has it taken the military long time to inform Nigerians about this?….We saw this in the news that BH beheaded a pilot b4 the military is telling us this, this morning….Horrible…..Young man,you were really brave …”
Gabriel Henry, writes, “RIP, the brave one…. but I think the Defence Headquarters should be telling us the whole truth so that if there is where the citizens can help, enough of this self denials, what’s actually going on? What happened to your intelligence gathering mechanism to nip the horror in the bud? Where is the giant in you? How come a small fragment & untrained (band) like Boko Haram is bringing you to your knees?… go! go hard Nigerian military! We are solidly behind you!!!!!!!!!”
Zubby Okonkwo writes, “Your sacrifice for this Nation will not be forgotten in a hurry. Even if the present crop of leadership fails to recognise you, the Nigerian masses do. Our hearts go to your loved ones you left behind and may God comfort them. You participated in the struggle to eradicate our land from these brigands of evil. The only language they understand is force and you were one of our force men who daily toil to give us peace. To our brother, our hero, our friend, a true Nigerian, a black man, I will not say good bye to you as your memories will live long but I would rather say safe journey till we all meet to part no more.”
Ali Sunoma Alhaji, writes, “A gallant hero worthy of emulation by all Nigerians not only the military. That way Boko Haram will be afraid of every Nigerian whether armed or not.”

GeneralChinaza: Odekunle isn't a general, he's a colonel. Bring his carcass lemme fart, urine and sh1t on it........thanks for your cooperation

He retired a Brig. General you idiot..and its Adekunle..not "Odekunle"..The only thing you should be shitting on is your certificate..No educated person should type the trash you just typed.

There is no cold war anywhere...soon GEJ and his cronies will be all over the News pleading and begging shamelessly for U.S "assistance" to fight BH..This same GEJ whose low self esteem is so embarassing he could not even give Obama eye contact when he visited the U.S, wants to fight the U.S? Ahahaha...not this dude!

Chimax15: new troll detected

If you had nothing to say...why didn't you just ignore the thread? Instead of typing like a drunkard.

TrollMan: O please not the “holy grail“ attitude.
How old were you when you started dating?..

Don't mind her...My elder brother's daughter is 16+...in her final year in Secondary School...She has a "bobo" who we all know...he comes over most weekends to help her dad with typing and stuff...Very nice guy..(Also abt 17 or so...nt sure)...What's my point? The last thing you want in this day and age is a child that keeps secrets from you..Kids will be kids...they will always seek romantic attachments...Better to let them find "love" or whatever while also setting boundaries..If not, you will be breeding a liar as a daughter..Presently, my niece and her "bobo" are still going strong...with parents on both sides accepting it for what it is..Rules were outlined..which they both agreed to..that's a lot better than kids who sneak around.

diamondpaul: Lol, instead of u to cover ur face in shame u re busy deciding who the killer is, if am to being sarcastic I would say #Alright that was not him, but that guy being shot was one of those biafran's...let me tell u something about that video....it one of those video being recorded during the meaningless biafra war I have watch the full version here...in form of film and documentary the producer use it to expose the harvoc which the civil war did. So I saw the part In which the guy was shot. Nd how life left him instantly.

And the Biafrans NEVER killed Nigerian POWs? War is brutal...for all parties involved...don't be biased.

quid: He was used, dumped, rejected, demented, frustrated, ostracized, cast away, forgotten, passed over: the LOSER scorpion

But his name will forever echo through the annals of the Nigerian Army's corridors of history...where you your name be when you are dead? Loser!

barcanista: to those whacks called biafraudians everything is about money. They should get used to the fact that General Adekunle taught Ojukokoro a bitter lesson. He remains a Hero to the Niger Deltans and so he is. Money is not everything.
I even did a tribute to him

Don't mind the fools...The ignorant kids don't know that the S.S was dragged into Ojukwu's mess along with other non-Ibo minorities..Was Adekunle worse than Ojukwu who executed his own top commanders? The same ones who planned the brilliant Mid-West invasion in 1967...Adekunle later suffered from PTSD-related illnesses later on into the war..According to Elechi Amadi(The Novelist)..He did not die a rich man...whereas his other peers (Danjuma nd co.) are living like kings with stolen Oil cash...But in all that, He was a brilliant soldier, and more importantly, a true Patriot.

Brig Gen Benjamin Adekunle.
