A Nigerian soldier was killed on Wednesday after being forced into a burning military vehicle in the southeastern part of the country, an official told Peoples Gazette.
The soldier, whose identity has been withheld to give military authorities enough time to convey the news to his loved ones, was on a patrol with his colleagues in Edema, Ebonyi, when they were ambushed by yet-unidentified gunmen.

A military source said the assailants then set the soldiers’ patrol truck alight and pushed the slain officer into the raging inferno. Charred remains of his body and the vehicle were shared amongst service members on Thursday afternoon.
Two other soldiers who took part in the patrol were still missing in action as of Thursday afternoon, the source said under anonymity because the military was still evaluating the situation.
Nigerian troops have faced pushback from residents in Ebonyi and other states across the South-East after repeated attacks on the civilian population in the region. The military said the campaign was aimed at rooting out those responsible for violent attacks believed to have stemmed from the ongoing separatist agitation.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has repeatedly denied ties to the attacks, but federal authorities said its members were linked to the violence and arrested.
The group’s leader Nnamdi Kanu was abducted by Nigerian authorities from Kenya in June 2021 and has remained in the custody of the Nigerian government in Abuja.

Something fishy is going on here.

They always accuse IPOB. But on the occasions, the criminals were caught and it was proven that they are not IPOB, the accusers neither apologized nor broadcasted the criminals' identity. Sentiment will never help the situation.

?

Will you make a fuss out of a soldier killed in Ebonyi and keep quiet about a barrack sacked in Niger State, something tells me this is escapist theory

but when the security react, hope it won't be they hate security operative ?

IPOB doing what they do best.

So Nigerian military personnel are now endangered species under the civilian rule.

The military should bury its head in shame for stooping so low into this decadence.

It was earlier reported that the Soldiers invaded a community in Ebonyi state, now this news is saying otherwise.

Those who brought ants infested wood to the house should be ready for ant colonies party

Nigeria army, what are they doing in Ebonyi state?, Is Ebonyi Niger state where army barrack was raised down by terrorist?, Is Ebonyi state Zamfara, kaduna, Sokoto Katsina where terrorist baptized as bandits are massacring villagers on daily basis?.

What they are looking for is what they see.
It's like terrorist on uniform are now moving from Imo state to Ebonyi state, we all should remember how Imo killing & kidnapping by army, police, DSS etc started. They went to search for ESN but can't penetrate the forest, they came back to the nearest community burn a church & kidnapped people, late came on the street in Orlu & stationed machine guns & open fire on people.

They refused to learn from what happened & is still happening in Imo state.
They will soon get what they are looking for.

But the report is fishy, how did they burn APC & ask the army man to go into burning fire.
This new get K leg.
