B'Haram Kills Colonel, Vows to Take over Chief of Defence Staff Residence in Adamawa

 

 

Boko Haram is carrying out daring attacks and seriously gaining grounds, sad but true. In a bid to expand the territory of their Islamic caliphate, Boko Haram staged an attack to capture Mubi in Adamawa State, the home town of the Chief of Defence staff, Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh, on Monday.

They engaged a contingent of Nigerian troops who are fighting back to take hold of the town. Though the town is yet to fall but the casualty already suffered by the military may soon force the Nigerian soldiers to surrender their hold on the city just as they did to Michika, another major town captured.

Abusidiqu learnt that in the fierce battle to save Mubi from falling, the Boko Haram insurgents burnt down the home of the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 3 Division, Major General Zaruwa, killed a senior military officer in the rank of a Colonel and several soldiers while the son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Lt Col. Adeboye Obasanjo who is serving in Yola, Adamawa state was also shot and seriously wounded by Boko Haram gunfire. 

The military suffered the casualty while racing to save Mubi in the company of the GOC, 3 Division, Major General Zaruwa. The GOC’s convoy was said to have come under heavy ambush gunfire from the terrorists who killed the Colonel and shot Lt. Col. Obasanjo in the process...

While the corpses of some of the killed soldiers have been recovered and deposited in the morgue in Yola, Lt. Col Obasanjo was also said to be responding to treatment in a military hospital. A source at the Defence Headquarters said the wounded officer may be flown to Abujafor better medical attention.

A source in the town also disclosed that the deadly insurgents vowed to seize the town and hoist their flag on the residence of the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh.

The Boko Haram insurgents seem to be getting more daring and determined in their push to capture substantial part of the North East with major towns in Borno, Yobe and now Adamawa already fallen.
