After the Gwoza operation there comes another deadly one ALAGARNO.
Don't ever joke with that axis.
That's one location where I see the other side of my Anti Aircraft gun, it became so red that i was even scared after firing for several hours.
The last time i ... 1
Experience such was with my GPMG.
Few days after the Gwoza operation and few weeks after my death of my brother.
GOC came, gentlemen Weldon job, we are Soldiers and we can't get tired. Nigeria is proud of you, the coas is proud of you and the CinC is proud of your ... 2
Heroics.
Me to myself, I am not proud of anything as I just lost my brother.
Our 2i/c came to cheer me up, xox you don't smoke I would have give you what will high you now, and you don't I would have give you what will increase your gear you up😁
No joy at all ...3
Because my brother is supposed to be my inspiration int he frontline.
But oya was so friendly that I picked myself up immediately and told my colleagues let's go.
See the joy on their faces. But that location won't be easy at all I told the leading officer.
He said ...4
No xoxo, I know that location very well, we shall conquer.
Me: okay sir. There's nothing like NO in the Military.
When they brought the map, he saw the direction and argued this is not the direction to Alagarno, arguing in high voice o😁
Then I checked and told him ... 5
Sir that's the direction.
He looked at me with smeared face 😁
Me, sir the Alagarno you're talking about is the one at lake Chad this one is like this sir.
That was when Oga knew we are in for a long day as far as that operation is concern.
But i told him, sir be rest ... 6
Assured we shall triumph over the enemies, trust God.
Pep tal done and we proceed.
Cut short.
We get to a village before the Timbutu triangle.
Normal levels, but the sounds of those guns and launchers i don't think they are the usual ones.
Eagle was ringing ... 7
Bell, firing upon firing.
Ringing tone as usual😁
I saw my gun in red face, and immediately i knew there's something wrong somewhere.
I saw one of my trusted buddy gunned down, my heart melted immediately.
I picked one of the MGs inside the tank, mount it immediately ... 8
Another buddy gunned down, then i felt something cold from inside my fragjag, my arm was weak. Touched my cloth felt it soaked.
It has happened I received too, then another bullet passed through my ear, then i knew okay we are in for a long day.
I sighted one of the sniper ..9
Putting on full SF uniform, but the few place open isn't a black man.
I faced that axis, rain it with full force.
Officer in charge too has being shot, but we have to finish this operation before anything.
After sommuxh dangling, blaming, and firing. Place was calm and ... 10
We entered into Alagarno.
Few of them ran with bullet wound and all that.
But i saw what my mouth can't even say.
When we entered Alagarno, someone the insurgents killed were Arabs and from the settings of the camp , you'd know these people aren't ... 11
Locals as usual.
We saw some bunkers of hard currencies. I was shocked.
The vehicles and arms we collected are brand new ones.
Few minutes they came again in million 😁
Loud Allahuakbar voice, saying in Kanuri, this is their caliphate they can never leave it for us ... 12
When we are already running out of ammos? When the Oga himself is already shot?
We can't how to their pressure we must curtail it.
Then Air support came which was our saviour.
There's this female Pilot then in the frontline, she was whisked away after some successful ... 13
Operations.
Anywhere you are today may God continue to bless you.
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
We are still dragging the one in Lake Chad with them, and they know we have a strong forces they can't withstand us, and it has been a serious debate in their country how to stop us from drilling that oil.
When PMB won we met again in an operation to clear Kangarwa down to /3
It was around March 2015 when the then GOC 7 Div came to address us about the task ahead because BHT have taking over virtually the whole state only Konduga is left. With so much anger in our face but we have no option than to adhere to his orders and not that alone he's a/1
Man worth working for. With the few time he spent in the Div the morale and advice he gave to troops is more than enough to work for him and the Nation. Nobody believe anybody then even the President can't give orders to troops because we all know it's a/2
Trap they've laid ambush already and they've informed the Terrorist we are coming. Troops were tired SF are no more themselves.
Then there come that faithful Morning when we are about embarking on the deadly journey in deep fear. We saw this small innocent/3
