Colleagues Deny DHQ Report, Confirm Pilot's Death. by Virgindove(f): 12:52pm On Oct 05, 2014



Despite Defence Headquarters was disputing the authenticity of the gruesome Boko Haram video which showed the decapitation of Nigerian Airforce jet pilot, his colleagues have come out and confirmed the death calling him a true Nigerian Hero.



This was done through the Nigerian Army Support Group on Facebook and they wrote: “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.

“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 message above was written, fellow colleagues have continued to pour out more tributes to the hero.

It is very obvious now that the DHQ initial denial was a deliberate act to protect the dignity of the military at the expense of the victims. This is very unfortunate.

He should have parachuted to safety first in the nigerian army area and leave the boko haram fighters for another day. His life is worth more than 100 boko haram fighters
