Terrorists Reporteldy Ambush Army Convoy, Reportedly Abduct Commander, Kill Soldiers
Terrorists suspected to be Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, fighters on Saturday, reportedly ambushed a Nigerian military convoy, killing some soldiers and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF, in North Eastern Nigeria.
HumAngle reports that the insurgents reportedly abducted a serving Brigade Commander along with other military personnel.
The insurgents were said to be armed and highly organised, targeting the convoy in what appears to be a coordinated strike, leaving a trail of casualties and panic in the region.
The Nigerian Army has yet to release an official statement on the attack or confirm the fate of the abducted officer at the time of filing this report.
