The director of army public relations, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, said the personnel comprising two officers and four soldiers were killed in a terrorists’ ambush last Friday.

“Sadly, the troops suffered a temporary setback as six personnel comprising two officers and four soldiers paid the supreme price,” he said.
