 Foreign Affairs / Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by AfroArab: 12:42am On Nov 09, 2016 |
giles14:is that your people kill yourselfs maybe. So we say in sudan what we hear from cameroun you maybe betrayed yourselfs like we hear before SAD KILLING OF MAJOR TIMOTHY FAMBIYA, SHOT FROM BEHIND Major Timothy Fambiya’s story is known to military commanders because the operation in which he took part was both strategic and very sensitive. Fambiya was a native of Gwoza in Yobe State. He was a Christian. Intel extracted from and some made available by detained members of Boko Haram suggested that their leader, Abubakar Shekau, was hiding somewhere around the hills in Gwoza. Top military commanders brain-stormed and, after hours of thinking out how to approach the battle, an action plan was hatched. But because of the hilly nature of some parts of Gwoza and the need to be dexterous in prosecuting the operation, someone with a good knowledge of the area of operation needed to be part of or lead the operation. Enter Major Fambiya. Now, here was a young man who was on a course at Nigeria’s Command and Staff College, Jaji, in far away Kaduna. Words got to him that Shekau may be hiding around the hills of Gwoza but the top commanders were hamstrung in proceeding. This was in July, 2014. “That was how Fambiya came into the picture. Because he was very familiar with the topography of this town, he volunteered to be part of the operation. The idea was to capture Shekau alive. Unfortunately, as in some of our operations, we believe some people from within, even among the officer corps, may have leaked the information to the terrorists”, a source said. Mind you, it was from this battle that the story of Shekau’s killing filtered out. There were conflicting reports that he was injured during the gun battle and that he died but was quickly buried. Other reports claimed he fled with gunshot injuries to neighbouring Cameroun. Worse still, Sunday Vanguard gathered that it was after this battle that Fambiya was shot in the head from behind. A top military source lamented: “In Fambiya’s death, Nigeria lost one of her best Special Forces officer”. The source went on: “We suspect that Major Fambiya may have been killed by one of his men because he was shot in the head from behind. Though we have no concrete proof of that, the incident raises the question as to how the terrorists have been able to infiltrate the military because of some people who seem to share their ideological slant”.https://www.google.ca/amp/www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/boko-harams-winning-strategy-1/amp/?client=ms-android-motorola 1 Like |
