Soldiers conveying foodstuff to troops ambushed by suspected Boko Haram men, 2 killed

A statement released on Friday, December 11, by
the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel
Sani Kukasheka Usman says that some soldiers
conveying foodstuffs to troops were ambushed
along Bama-Ngurosoye by suspected Boko Haram
elements yesterday Thursday, December 10.
A search and rescue team that was sent to Bokos
general area has recovered corpses of a soldier
and a civilian JTF, as well 6 burnt AK-47 rifles.
The team has also intensified search for a
missing soldier. The Explosive Ordinance Device
element on the team have discovered and
detonated an Improvised Explosive Device buried
along the road.
They have also found out and destroyed Boko
Haram terrorists hideout in the area. It will be
recalled that Ngurosoye has been cleared of
terrorists months ago, but some elements of Boko
Haram terrorists that were thought to be innocent
civilians, sneaked into that and sprang an
ambush on troops escorting supplies to our force
at the front lines yesterday.
Despite the unfortunate incident, troops morale
remain very high and they have continued with
their patriotic duties of searching for and
destroying the Boko Haram terrorists in their
enclaves.
