There was heavy security presence along the Barki Ladi, Heipang, Mararaban Jamare and old airport junction roads in Jos on Saturday, September 13, as former President Olusegun Obasanjo paid a visit to his wounded son Lt. Col. Adeboye Obasanjo.
Obasanjo was said to have arrived at the Yakubu Gowon Airport, Heipang at about 5:45pm, where he was received by the deputy governor of Plateau State, Amb Ignatius Longjan and Gbong Gwom Jos His Majesty Da Jacob Gyang Buba, commander of the Special Task Force on Jos crisis, Major General David Eniete, the commissioner of police and the director of SSS.
From the airport, he was led by his escort to Obasanjo's guest house along Wase Close where his injured son was waiting for him.
It was gathered that on arrival at his Wase guest house, he was greeted by the younger Obasanjo who rushed out meet to receive him and they both embraced each other.
After holding a meeting with his son, security chiefs, Gbong Gwom Jos and deputy governor Longjan, Obasanjo reportedly left the guest house at exactly 7:09pm back to the Yakubu Gowon Airport.
Adeboye who is the Commander, 135 Field Engineering Regiment of the Nigerian Army in the Plateau State capital, was injured during a gun battle with Boko Haram in Maiduguri, Borno State but The Daily Trust reports that he was released from the Yola Federal Medical Centre earlier than expected and partly due to security concerns given the high profile of his family.
