Damaba, Borno State – You fit hear am well, this one no be joke. The Nigerian Army don drop news wey dey shake ground as dem talk say Brigadier General M Uba, di Brigade Commander of 25 Task Force Brigade, don safely lead him troops back to base after di ambush wey happen last Friday, November 14. But wetin dem carry come out no be wetin HumAngle don find.
According to our intel, di verified image wey HumAngle get show dat di general no be as safe as dem talk; he dey hold by insurgents. Na wah! This one dey scatter di Army’s story well well, especially as dem declare say there be no abduction but just some small ambush wey cause casualties. Na so dem dey take chance sometimes! (Talk about mixing oil and water!)
Dis whole wahala begin when ISWAP fighters ambush a convoy of military and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) for Biu Road. Plenty soldiers and CJTF members no fit make am back, and di whereabouts of di general first come dey shrouded in mystery. Some sources from ground don talk say di general don get abducted during di attack. But dem suden later change di tale, claiming say he run come back go base on foot like superhero.
But hold on na! Di Nigerian Army no show any evidence for wetin dem dey talk. Instead, dem dey stand by dia statement say di general well and truly lead him men back from di battlefield. Na wetin dem call but no show!
Now be dis image wey don surface, wey show General Uba surrounded by armed fighters and wey also get gunshot wound for leg. HumAngle don use correct method check am to confirm say na real deal. No be small thing, e no dey easy to see an officer in distress. (Talk about being in di right place at di wrong time!)
This new evidence don put a huge question mark on di Army’s public statement, raise our eyebrows about di current state of communication inside di military, and also don stir up concerns about public trust and di security of troops on ground. If one general fit fall into enemy hand, wetin for di ordinary soldier wey no get status? Na as e be so, dem families wey dey cope with all dis bata-bata news no go fit calm down. Dem dey vex, dey check dia phones for updates wey no dey come.
Dis saga dey tell us more about di serious wahala wey dey on ground for di North East of Nigeria. ISWAP don step up dia game, dey hit Damboa area and challenge di safety of military personnel plus civilians. Security analysts wey check di image don label di abduction of a serving commander as major setback; dis one no be just blow for Nigerian forces, na serious matter!
For families of soldiers wey dey stationed for dat area, di conflicting news dey cause plenty anxiety. Dem go dey wonder wetin dey really happen to dia loved ones, and trust me, no be small wahala.
As for di Nigerian Army, dem done dey try reach out for fresh comments, but as we dey yan dis gist, zero representation has come through. Na wetin dem dey call ghosting! Anyway, we just dey observe to see wetin go happen next.
