A Lieutenant with the Nigerian Army and six other soldiers, moving in a military vehicle, have been reportedly killed in an ambush by Boko Haram terrorists along the Biu-Buratai-Buni Yadi Road between Borno and Yobe States.

The road, which links Borno and Yobe States through the Biu-Buratai-Buni Yadi, has remained a death trap, as it has witnessed a series of deadly attacks in recent times. Many travellers have been abducted by terrorists at various times along the road, and the dilapidated nature of the road from Borno axis is creating chances for the terrorists, who capitalise on the frequent stoppages due to the nature of the route, to strike.

According to reliable sources, the attack, which occurred on Thursday evening, led to the killing of the senior Army officer, a driver, gunner, and four other soldiers.

Unconfirmed reports indicated that several numbers of the terrorists/attackers were killed during an exchange of gunfire with troops near Kamuya village, a few kilometres drive from Buratai, the hometown of former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai (rtd).

“Unfortunately, one (1) officer was killed, including a driver, gunner plus four other escorts.”

The Nigerian military is yet to issue any statement in respect of the attack as at the time of filing this report.
