Despite some military sources claiming the man beheaded in the Boko Haram video is unknown to them, friends of Wing Commander Chimda Hedima have paid him tribute. They also told the story of how the brave young man killed as many Boko Haram men as he could, knowing he would be captured. See the tribute below...
On
11/09/14, a company of NA soldiers attempted to overrun a Boko Haram
position in Borno. Due to the low altitude, the plane suffered
significant damage from the terrorists' gun fire. Wing Commander Hedima & his partner realized that they were going to crash.
Instead of hurriedly parachuting to safety within Nigerian controlled
territory, they chose to embark on a mission to destroy as many
terrorists and their weapons as possible. They parachuted out at the
last minute but not before ensuring their plane slammed into a column of
terrorists in which 63 Boko Haram members were killed as a result of
their bravery. Wing Commander Hedima was captured.
On 12/09/14, he was killed by the Boko Haram.
He chose Nigeria, he chose all of us. We cannot forget him. Please share his story. His name should be known by everyone.
Rest In Peace Commander, we are grateful.
May you find eternal peace in the bosom of the almighty God.
Now this brave soldier deserves a posthumous award.

Now that his name is out. I might as well leave my tribute.
Chimda Hedima was my junior in Military School (Jos). He went on to NDA and was commissioned to the Air Force. He was recently promoted as a Wing Commander (Lt. Col) and attended the Command and Staff College in Bangladesh. A lifetime Soldier (from a Junior Airman in Military School to a senior officer in the Military) who comes from a generation of soldiers, as his Dad also retired as a senior officer. The BH crisis was probably personal for him as their Christian homeland of Hong in Adamawa is under BH threat.
People had been praying and fasting for him since he got missing, but BH killed him on October 1, his birthday.
Rest in the Lord's bossom Chimda Stephen Hedima.
From 1st Corinthians 15:
54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[h]
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”[i]
God rest ur soul patriot...God bless u
God help us all
Oh my God please may his gentle soul rest in your bosom,such a brave man will b awarded till enternity.linda
RIP BRAVEHEART. YOUR KILLERS SHALL ALL DIE.
Dear Miss Linda Ikeji,
Please always feel free to state the origin, even if it is of just this tribute. Post the link, from where you got the tribute, and at least state the name of whoever wrote it.
Thank you.
Anoda fallen Hero dat d Military datz faild to recognise..... U died fr ur country yet dey fail nd deny knowin u,God wil gv u peace. RIP Hero Chimda
~@iamjbankz SA to President Jonathan 2015~
eeeeeya. RIP. Thank you commander, I hope the government will be kind enough to sort his family out
This country is so much of a joke in reality
I knew d military would deny knowing him following claims dat d jet wasnt shot down by d haramites
Rest on our true heroes
While I appreciate the need to immortalise the gallantry of soldiers who died fighting for the motherland, this particular tale is just plain old bullshit. Like, who witnessed how the 2 pilots got captured to give us such a first-hand, blow by blow account of their ill-fated mission? They even told us how many terrorists the crashing plane took out. Who is frigging kidding who here??
Anyways, rest in peace, soldier.
Rip
Stuff of movies! It is about time someone made a movie about our military struggle and triumph against BH. I got a movie idea if anyone is interested in making it into a movie.
Yeah sure, he deserve to be remembered. Rest in peace officer.
This is what Nigeria needs, bravery and believing in something. May his family take heart knowing he is a true son of his father land. RIP

According to reports, The Airforce High Command is denying the report.
Chaii... Brave man....

Eternal rest grant to ur servant o Lord. Innocent lives are lost every day because of some selfish politicians who have created this menace called boko haram.
No doubt, he will surelu be remembered for his bravery, Adieu commander Hedima
Brave man he is and may his soul rest-in-perfect peace
I pray that the BokoHaram will have no peace, as they claim they are doing all this for the sake of Allah. What kind of blood sucking Allah is dis?
RIP Commander u re indeed a grt hero of our time may God accept ur soul and put u in that heavenly places he has prepared 4 us.
Very touching,may his soul rest in perfect peace.
May u find peace in the bossom of our Lord
Hmmm see eye witness account, linda please this writer to tell nigeria army where the jet crash, so that nigeria army will know. biko
I wish his family every comfort and fortitude in this trying time. He is a national hero and his courage is rivaled by only a few. I will not forget him.
Rest In Paradise.
And where is Oga Dee?????? God keep him o
Rest in peace dear one
Rest in Peace, my dear.

And when dz stupid God forsaken boko haram idiots are captured they ll b given 25yrs imprisonment#Nonsense

as long as boko haram drinketh water created by ALMIGHTY GOD, and with diz tears on my face, cnt even rememba the last tym i cried boko haram!!! i curse u and ur sponsorers IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Rest in peace, commander. May your labour not be in vain.
May ur soul rest in peace. Its a big shame that the military hurriedly deny knowing him instead of first of all investigating to know who he is as any normal pple (not nigeria leaders) would do. It hurts me to my soul the caliber of leaders we have in nigeria. Anything thats supposed to go to the young man's family, they want to pocket, hence the denial

this are the types of people we need in Nigeria, people that will be ready to die for Nigeria.
Dear Linda, when I read the story I cried my eyes out and said I prayer for him and his family. I have a very good and sweet friend who is also a pilot and everyday I woke up I always pray for him that God should not allow them to send him to fight those monsters. May the soul of chimda hedima rest in peace and i also pray God to bring a lasting solution to all these killings. Rest in peace hero.
May his soul rest with the Lord. Please the FG and military should let his death be in vain.

R.I.P Commander. Your bravery is inspiring.
RIP .u died quite galantly!

Something is not actually right here..I think the DHQ should have done proper investigation before coming out to say they don't know the offIceR..how could it be??well we need to hear more sides of the story*
Chai...he was even a cute dark soldier. RIP brave cutie

May His Soul rest in peace . Wish our leaders encouraged us enough to make such selfless sacrifices, then it would have been worth it
Why do you all request for "posthumous award" for ppl that died carrying out their duty....this is what is required of a well trained professional...
Linda since u seem to be the only person that has seen this video......probably release it to the family so they can have peace.....as at this moment we are still believing God he is still ALIVE
REST IN PEACE COMMANDER. THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING US.
May his soul rest in peace.Naija is a confused country.How can d military say they don't know him,it is simply unbelievable.

Rest in peace Sir
Kudos to u brave soldier. Pray ur family find dey fortitude to bear ur loss
What did boko haram want from Nigeria,they shld leave us alone
Ikponwa
Linda, soldiers always follow rules + instructions while in an engagement like that.
I him and his partner according to what I read here, choose to run rampant while they where suppose to retreat, he is accountable to his actions. It is not bravery but stupidity.
In the army, there're times u retreat...dose not mean u lost but just to rearrange to fight another day.

WHAT THESE BH IDIOTS WANT? WHOEVER IS SUPPORTING THEM WILL REPENT FOREVER!
Chimda Hedima u died a true hero in service to this nation. We will tell generations to come ur heroic story. To ur family, may God comfort and your soul is with the Almighty. U are gone but never will u be forgotten. Adieu brother
They should have parachuted to safety...he who fights and runs lives to fight another day...
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
If this is true, then...
Now, this is what bravery is all about. To all of us, who deserves an award in Nigeria other than this man, putting his life on the line to ensure that the "Labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain".
No one is gonna comment on this one, but I bet if it were something like: "Check out Davido's New Bathroom Slippers". We'd have had 200 comments by now. Loss of sane values. Now this is one hero we should all remember forever.
GOD IS STILL GOD, MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.
Oh! What a country we are living in. Government should rise up to their responsibilities and ensure they take proper and the best care of his family. Cos a 39years old man must have left a wife and children. RIP bro....
Rest in peace wing commander Chimda Hedima.
And our millitary command is denying him?. Such a shame
It's so sad that the authorities would rather hand awards to criminals, persons facing corruption charges and those without scruples than to those who have made huge sacrifices for the cause of peace, unity and sanctity of the Nation. May God grant his soul eternal rest. AMEN!!!
Wow so we still have people lik this..so brave..! May his soul rest in peace where ever he is.
**Charlie**
May his soul rest in peace

A brave man he is. RIP

A REAL hero! May he rest in peace, and may Almighty God give his family the fortitude to bear this incredible loss! Hian!

Our Nigeria ....oga oooo
Rest in peace brave command wing. tina.agori@yahoo.com
Your friend and colleague in the military did a very brave thing for us and he deserves our highest salute as with is wingman and all others who have sacrificed and continue sacrificing- they deserve so much more from this forsaken leadership and I hope we the protected will have the good sense to define our future and honour their memory by demanding the governance we deserve
By clear Contrast, these are the Worthy Gentlemen that should rule Nigeria, Young, Courageous, Selfless with great love for service and country, ready to pay the ultimate price and he proved it. What we have now are the exact opposite who seat in the comfort of Luxuries and the protection provided by the gallant ones, they steal, loot plunder and are clueless as regards adding value to the ones they Rule, Robbers in high places, enriching themselves daily at the expense of true Patriots such as Commander Chimda Hedima and many like him. To these Charlatans, who even have the effrontery to openly deny such men of great deeds of patriotism, I say to you all, your day of reckoning will come, in time, It will come !
Islamic extremism is a PLAGUE affecting more and more countries every day. All the insanity in the world is coming from followers of Islam.Where Islam goes, destruction follows. The civilized world must do everything to checkmate these monsters before they set the world ablaze. RIP officer Chimda
#God answers all prayers#
Happy moments - Praise God, Difficult moments-Seek God,
Quiet moments -Worship God, Painful moments-Trust God,
Every moment - Thank God.
shut that shithole up. IDIOT!!!
Will u just stop being insensitive and respect the dead.

RIP

What a stupid thing to say! So u have left the whole field of play to delve into what you don't know? How foolish can u be?
The military should be court martialled for denying him! Abi?
Boko haram will pay dearly for this shit
