Suspected Boko Haram insurgents on Tuesday ambushed the convoy of the Acting General Officer Commanding, GOC, 7 Division, the Nigerian Army has said.
The Army spokesperson, Sani Usman, said in a statement that “the leading elements of the Acting General Officer Commanding, GOC, 7 Division Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Victor Ezugwu’s leading convoy was about 8.30am on Tuesday morning ambushed by suspected Boko Haram terrorists enroute to visit troops in Bama, Borno state, north east Nigeria”.
He said “although 1 soldier lost his live and 2 others were injured, they were able to clear the ambush, killing some of the terrorists and recovered vehicle and weapons from them”.

He said the recovered items include a Toyota Hilux vehicle, 2 AK-47 rifles and several ammunitions.
The Acting GOC has continued his operational visit to Bama, while the body of the late soldier and the wounded had been evacuated to Maiduguri, the statement added.
He added that Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Yusuf Buratai, a lieutenant general, has also spoken with the GOC.

“The Nigerian Army wish to reiterate its unalloyed commitment and determination to continue to clear the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists wherever they might be hiding,” he said.
The attack came a day after soldiers clashed with Boko Haram militants in Borno State.

'Great news'

Clearly the war is still on, this is what the US and UK have been trying to inform the gullible masses who prefer to believe in pictures rather than reality

.

Hmmm......



Chai!

Lets just stop lying to the junketing dullard on the nature of events happening in the country

This fraudulent Party called APC are lieing bastards. I thought Bubu said they have been crushed for life?

Jesus!!!.... .we shall overcome... I believe it

The end of Boko Haram is imminent..

I think they are being irrational with their plans these days and this only confirms that they've been seriously dealth with which has made them unstable and desperate.

I wonder how this Low-Intellect being have been able to penetrate us this far.

I gave up on Buhari's soldiers the moment they started burning bushes...perhaps hunting for games but rediscover their brutal might the moment they sight IPOB protesters.

Life is give and take RIP to the fallen soldier

Boko Haram are trying desparetely to be noticed.The GOC and Gen.lamidi adeosun are the architect of our victory over the terrorist.

for the records, boko haram is dead and about to be buried

Buhari should stop unleashing his bokoharam soldiers on our southern and christian commanders

One useless moderator banned me for posting nigeria army short service reqruitment



this is injustice

Buhari should come and explain I thought he said bokoharam are finished that he is just mopping up the few remaining and that the can't attack our millitary formation ever again, in there words bokoharam has bee technically defeated.

I feel for them soldiers,

The attack is be a plot to assassinate the GOC but he went with loyal troops.

Thank GOD for saving his live.

After the attack he continued his journey to bama, but a coward(YoroBat Enitan Ransom Kuti) will just reverse his vehicle and flee in a nake-breaking speed
