Boko Haram gunmen on Tuesday ambushed troops of the Nigeria
army moving along the dangerous Maiduguri-Biu highway and killed one soldier,
security sources said.
The gunmen, in what appeared a reprisal attack for the
killing of their members during the Sunday night encounter in Damboa, had laid
in ambush at a spot not far from Damboa and opened fire on unsuspecting
solders.
“Our troops were on their way to Damboa this morning when
the insurgents ambushed them. We lost one soldier,” the source said.
A top security personnel confirmed the attack but declined
being quoted in this report.
