One deadly operation i can't forget was our operation to recapture Malam-Fatori.

After tough battle recapturing Kangarwa, days later another task came to recapture Malam Fatori.

Never say never then Let Col Abu-Ali briefed us and you know when he talked we listen attentively /1
I jumped down from my EagleEye went straight and request for something special which he gave me with so much joy.

They all know when Eagle is happy operation is at least 70% done with God and man😁

It all began, few km after leaving Kangarwa you know the next thing /2
Ambush and all that.

Immediately i sighted those Donkeys and Camels then i knew there's something fishy, unfortunately those who came newly to the operation were novice.

Rapid shots released from Eagle as usual, targeting the nearby trees and bushes (kangar)

Everybody was /3
Shocked because they never expected not experienced such, as the bht returned fire immediately.

After few minutes place was cleared, arms, GT and large cache of ammos was recovered, unfortunately we lost 2 warriors.

The biggest task was to enter Malam-Fatori which i knew /4
Will be an uphill task, because i have being there before so i knew what will happen.

Few km to our destination it came to reality 😁 don't want to mention those who went through Gashigar not a story to tell.

For hours, firing, lunching and anguish, it was one hell of a day /5
My ears were gone, i couldn't hear anymore, day turned night, then i knew we are in problem.

But with Dodo (Abu-Ali) we should be in safe hand.

After few seconds i regained consciousness and firing continued, then i heard a voice on our communication Radio which is unusual /6
One of our Gunner is down who is also a great fighter and a warrior.

Ambush was cleared we entered Malam-Fatori.

After few hours another fresh attack came, they came in thousands saying this is their holy ground we can't take it from them😁

It was hell of another round of /7
Firing for hours, which was still later cleared and Malam-Fatori was recaptured.

And i say RIO to the brave warriors we lost during those times.

Our fore father's will never forgive those sabotaging our efforts. Why will Nigerian Solders be celebrating the Victory of Chadian forces in our own territory?

Let me tell you in August 2014 i was discussing with a Chadian Soldier very close to me while we are in joint /1
Operation to flush out the terrorists across the lake Chad region, after we moved from Kaokiri, Kangarwa, Madahi, Daban masara, Duguri, down to Chuku-Hadji before Talia he told me we Nigerians are not contented with what we have, with all the Crude oil we have in Nigeria /2
