However, the Nigerian Army has yet to release an official statement on the attack or confirm the fate of the abducted officer. Terrorists suspected to be Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters have ambushed a Nigerian military convoy late Friday night, killing multiple soldiers and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), in northeastern Nigeria.

The attackers, armed and highly organised, targeted the convoy in what appears to be a coordinated strike, leaving a trail of casualties and panic in the region.

In an unprecedented development, the insurgents reportedly abducted a serving Brigade Commander along with other military personnel.

If confirmed, this would mark the first time an extremist group in Nigeria has successfully captured a serving General directly from the frontline.

According to HumAngle, "ISWAP fighters last night ambushed a Nigerian military convoy, killing several soldiers and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF).

"In an unprecedented escalation, the insurgents abducted a Brigade Commander alongside other troops." However, the Nigerian Army has yet to release an official statement on the attack or confirm the fate of the abducted officer.

SaharaReporters on Friday reported that Senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South under the All Progressives Congress (APC), condemned the renewed wave of terrorist attacks in parts of his constituency, describing the situation as “deeply worrisome” and unacceptable.

The lawmaker, in a statement on Thursday, said four farmers were gruesomely murdered by Boko Haram insurgents while working on their farmlands in Kwam village, near the Dille community in Askira-Uba Local Government Area.

According to Ndume, the victims were attacked while harvesting their crops — a development he said underscores the deteriorating security situation in remote communities that have remained vulnerable despite years of military operations.

“I am very much perturbed over the renewed attacks by Boko Haram terrorists in some parts of my constituency in the last week.

“These attacks led to the killing of four farmers while harvesting their crops in Kwam village, near Dille community of Askira- Uba local government area."

The senator added that the killings were not isolated incidents, noting that the insurgents had intensified assaults across multiple communities.

“Just last week, a Church and other infrastructures in Pemi were set ablaze, and yesterday (Wednesday), there were reports of Boko Haram invasion in the Shikarkir community of Chibok local government area in Borno state,” Ndume lamented.

He criticised the inability of security operatives to consistently safeguard remote settlements, saying the absence of a sustained security presence has emboldened insurgents to carry out attacks without resistance.

Guess it is still the same BH terrorists being recycled as repentant rehabilitated and deradicalised terrorists/

I pray it’s a lie but if true then if he’s released I believe he’ll tell his people to give those gallant men at the war front better ammunitions and will be a strong voice against rehabilitation of those An!mals
