A son of former President Olusegun
Obasanjo was on Monday shot during a battle between the militant
Islamic sect, Boko Haram and troops near Michika in Adamawa State.
It was gathered that Lt.-Col Adeboye Obasanjo led a platoon of the army that took on the insurgents at Baza near Michika.
A highly reliable security source said
that Adeboye was injured in the leg by the insurgents during the
encounter. He is an army engineer at the 3rd Division in Jos, Plateau
State.
The source said that the former
President’s son was being treated at a military facility which identity
was not revealed for security reasons.
“He was shot by Boko Haram in the battle
to reclaim Michika from the insurgents. But there is no cause for alarm
as he is responding to treatment,” he added.
