NIGERIA'S military leaders have begun pulling their son's serving in the army away from the war zone in the northeast of the country where troops are engaged in a ferocious battle with Islamist terror group Boko Haram. Earlier this week, Lt Col Adeboye Obasanjo, the son of the former president Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was injured when his convoy ran into a Boko Haram convoy. He has since been confirmed as being in a stable condition in hospital but apparently, the exemplary courage of the Obasanjo's is not being emulated by other senior serving and retired generals.
For instance, young Captain Ethan, who was serving with the 177 Guards in Keffi was transferred to Maiduguri a few months ago as a lieutenant. However, his father a former general officer commanding a mechanised division heard about the posting, he objected and ordered for his son's transfer outside the northeast region. Another officer, Lt Col Baba Ochapa was reported to have used his closeness with Senate President David Mark, to be transferred back to 37AT from Maiduguri and to be made commanding officer at the 343 Enugu. Lt Col Obasanjo, an army engineer, is based with the Third Mechanised Division in Jos, Plateau State and could have requested a transfer back there but did not. Since the Boko Haram insurgency gathered pace, intelligence reports have stated that the men of the Nigerian Army have been afraid to engage the enemy. Among the reasons for this has been that Boko Haram fighters are better equipped and better motivated than the men of the Nigerian Army.
A US military report also pointed out that corruption was preventing the men on the frontline from getting all the equipment they needed. This has resulted in a significant amount of desertion with soldiers fleeing from their duty posts, sometimes permanently, in the wake of Boko Haram onslaughts.
