No fewer than three soldiers have been killed and three others, including a Brigade Commander, injured, when terrorists attacked a Forward Operating Base (FOB) at Wajiroko in Borno State.

According to a military source, the brigade commander was injured when his vehicle stepped on an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) en route to the location to provide support to the Base under attack.

The source said that at about 2205 hours on Monday, March 24, 2025, troops of the Forward Operating Base Wajiroko came under Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorist attack.

This prompted the Brigade to call for air support in addition to sending re-enforcement team immediately. However, the re-enforcement team encountered IED along the way, hence a second re-enforcement led by the Commander, 25 Brigade, set out for the mission.

According to the report sighted by LEADERSHIP, the second re-enforcement team was still en route the location when the Brigade Commander’s Hilux vehicle stepped IED around Damboa.

The resulted explosion led to death of three soldiers and three others wounded in action, including the Brigade Commander.

While details of the attack were not readily available at press time, the report said the pilot dispatched to provide air support “communicated that he can sight fire around the FOB while scores of soldiers could be seen running towards Sabon Gari, likely that the FOB had been dislodged.”

The report added that the general security situation within the area of responsibility was fluid and urged troops to remain at maximum alert.

The Director, Defence Media Operations, Major General Markus Kangye, did not respond to messages from our Correspondent for confirmation.

LEADERSHIP recalls that on January 4, 2025, terrorists attacked a military base in Damboa, Borno State, killing six soldiers.

President Bola Tinubu had also ordered that the incident be probed in order to prevent future occurrences.

However, less then three months after the attack and probe, terrorists attacked another military base in the same Borno State, killing soldiers and injuring a Brigadier General who was riding in a soft skin vehicle instead of a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP) to provide support to the troops under attack.
