I just read from Sahara reporters now that:

Lt. Col. Adeboye Obasanjo, one of the many sons of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, was shot by Boko Haram members in Mubi today.
According to reports, he sustained serious injuries to his legs and has been transported to the hospital.

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.

makes me wonder too !

An Army Engr is not supposed to be a combatant leading troops at the frontlines.And by the virtue of his rank he was supposed to be leading a battalion and not a platoon

Sorry ooo, but na only them shoot abi no belle born other soldiers wey follow am and even some wey we don loss teteh? why the much publicity?
