In 1942, Fadoyebo voluntarily joined the British Army at the age of 16, an act which he characterised in his writings as "youthful exuberance".

In January 1942 he was selected for the Royal West African Frontier Force (RWAFF) and trained as a hospital attendant.

In the early morning of February 1944, while moving by the Kaladan River valley in Japanese-occupied Burma, his unit was ambushed by Japanese forces and Fadoyebo suffered several wounds as a result of the attack.

He and another soldier of the unit, David Kagbo from Sierra Leone, were the only survivors of the attack.

They hid themselves in the nearby forests.

They were later rescued out by Burmese villagers and sheltered in their village for 10 months.

Fadoyebo in his biography described Kagbo as, "my comrade in adversity".

In December 1944, the British Gurkha brigade liberated the area and found Fadoyebo and Kagbo, both of whom were admitted in the hospital to complete their recovery before returning to their native countries.
