(FILES) -- A file photo taken on June 5, 2013 shows Nigerian soldiers patrolling in the north of Borno state close to a Islamist extremist group Boko Haram former camp near Maiduguri. Nigeria's military on June 8, 2015 said it had begun shifting the command centre for its battle against Boko Haram from the capital to Maiduguri in the northeast, following a directive from President Muhammadu Buhari. Buhari announced the move in his inaugural speech on May 29, saying the Islamist insurgents would not be defeated until military command and control was transferred to the city at the heart of the uprising. "A reconnaissance and advance team for the establishment of Military Command and Control Centre (MCCC) for OPERATION ZAMAN LAFIYA for the fight against terrorism and insurgency has moved to Maiduguri," an army statement said.

A female soldier attached to the Ngwa High School Forward Operation Base ( FOB )in Abia state has killed a woman at Osisioma junction leading to the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation ( NNPC ) depot off Enugu-Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway.
Eye Witnesses report that the female soldier had no intentions of killing the woman. The soldier was having a fight with a truck pusher when she mistakenly fired some shots that hit the woman who died immediately. The deceased was said to be mentally deranged.
“The female soldier, I understand, told the truck pusher to take another route, but the truck pusher refused to heed to the instructions of the soldier. The soldier at that point, pushed the truck pusher who then charged at the soldier. The gun which had already being corked by the soldier in an apparent move to scare the truck pusher rented the air and in the process attracted other soldiers to the scene. The woman because of her mental state couldn’t run to safety when the incident was going on. She was in the process hit by several bullets while the man was dragging the gun with the soldier. The man was later whisked away into the Ngwa High School base of the Nigerian Army while the body of the dead woman was equally taken alongside with them.” an eyewitness said
