Obasanjo’s son injured in Boko Haram ambush.

A son of former President
Olusegun Obasanjo was injured
yesterday in an ambush by
Boko Haram fighters. Lt.-Col. Adeboye Obasanjo, an
engineer, was said to have been shot in his legs. A source at his 3rd Division in Jos, the Plateau State capital, confirmed the incident, saying it happened in Adamawa State where troops are fighting to dislodge Boko Haram from some towns. Some soldiers reportedly died in the ambush. Mubi, not far from Baza, is
already deserted over fears of
the sect’s impending attack.
The Adamawa State University
in the town has been closed
down. There was no official
confirmation of Lt.-Col.
Obasanjo’s injury last night.
The military does not usually
confirm injuries of individual
soldiers or officers. But, a military source said:
“There was an ambush of
troops and their commanders
by Boko Haram in Baza and
Lt.-Col. Adeboye Obasanjo and
others were wounded but they are receiving treatment. “Some insurgents were also
killed during encounters which
followed the ambush.” All military and security sources switched off their phones to avoid responding to
enquiries. No information was also posted on the Twitter account of the DHQ.
