The Nigerian Army has said that it lost three soldiers attached to Operation Lafiya Dole while four others were injured in the Boko Haram attack in the Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
The army noted on Thursday that the Boko Haram fighters attempted to overrun the Army Super Camp 2, belonging to the troops of 25 Task Force Brigade which is located in Damboa LGA, on Wednesday night.
The Nigerian Army Operation Media Coordinator, Col Aminu Iliyasu, said in a statement on Thursday that the Boko Haram terrorists attacked Damboa in gun trucks, adding that the troops recovered five AK-47 rifles, one General Purpose Machine gun and one rocket-propelled gun tube from the terrorists. “Regrettably, three soldiers paid the supreme price while four others were wounded in action. However, the injured soldiers have been evacuated to a military medical facility for immediate and effective management.”
