A Colonel in the Army without Body guard , Civilian Elite have Police protection ,, Its a Joke ! not for real , Please
Stop the ignorance, there is no word like a body guard in the military except if you are referring to an ADC(Aide De Camp) or an Orderly. By the way it is a weekend so even if he had one he won’t move around with him especially during unofficial times and outings. So it’s no joke but for real. I pray he gets free without the payment of any ransom.
elzakzaky for the colonel…check mate!
We will review and take appropriate action.
