They are regulars.

And they are not to rescue the kidnapped NNpC/geologist from UNIMAID.

They where just on “clearance” operation declared days ago by the Chief of Army Staff, Yusuf Buratai.

Those soldiers were killed when the workers were abducted. The Special Forces rescued the hostages and recovered the bodies of the soldiers.

Could be wrong.

Makes sense, so the 8 soldiers who were killed were part of the security detail attached to the NNPC workers then ?

Could well be although there are conflicting reports they were on clearance ops.

NAF OPERATIONALISES UNITS IN KATSINA STATE
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today commissioned the 213 Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Katsina and the Quick Response Wing (QRW) Daura thus formally marking the beginning of operations in the 2 units. The idea behind the establishment of the new units is to extend the reach of the NAF to the Northwest Geopolitical Zone, having already made appreciable contributions in different theatres of operations across the country. The 213 FOB is thus structured to shorten NAF’s response time while extending its reach in supporting air operations to deal with threats to Nigerians.

While commissioning the new units, the Special Guest of Honour, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Katsina State, Right Honourable Aminu Bello Masari, lauded the decision of the Federal Government in establishing the NAF units in Katsina. He stated that NAF’s presence in Katsina was long overdue considering its strategic importance, being a border state. He expressed his belief that the presence of the NAF in Katsina would go a long way in complementing the efforts of the Nigerian Army troops in boosting security in the State. He therefore requested members of the NAF’s host communities to give maximum support to the NAF. Governor Masari was also full of praises for the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who he acknowledged had done so much to reposition the NAF as one of the best air forces in Africa. He particularly commended the standard of buildings on the NAF bases, saying that they indicated a leader that cares for the welfare of his personnel, adding, “the other arms of the Armed Forces should emulate the NAF”.

In his remarks at the occasion, the CAS stated that the 213 FOB would accommodate some platforms and specialized equipment whenever the need arises. He added that the regiment wings in Katsina and Daura, with their specially trained personnel, would provide the necessary protection for NAF personnel and equipment, in addition to responding in aid to civil authority, when called upon to do so. He then charged the NAF personnel to conduct themselves professionally and treat all citizens with respect and dignity. Air Marshal Abubakar, who seized the opportunity to announce the establishment of a Central Flying School in Katsina, also expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for creating the enabling environment for the NAF to fulfil its statutory responsibilities. Meanwhile, as part of the NAF’s corporate social responsibility to its host communities, the CAS handed over a fully furnished block of 4 classrooms constructed by the NAF at Muhammadu Buhari Primary School in Daura. The CAS and his team had since returned to Abuja.

Defence news in Nigeria is Bullshit. Today they call trainers fighter jets tomorrow they call rockets guns.
