“The terrorists attacked around 6:00 pm, leading to a gun battle in which a soldier was killed and another one was injured.”
Jihadists aligned with the Islamic State group have killed five security personnel, including two soldiers, in three separate attacks in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state, sources said Wednesday.
“The terrorists attacked around 6:00 pm , leading to a gun battle in which a soldier was killed and another one was injured,” said the officer, who asked not to be identified. The militants withdrew and attacked troops in nearby Gajiganna, where they killed a second soldier and seized a gun truck, according to anti-jihadist militiaman Ibrahim Liman.
Around the same time on Monday, insurgents on motorcycles and in four trucks fitted with machine guns stormed into the town of Rann near the border with Cameroon, attacking troops and militia positions.“Our consolation is that several terrorists were killed in the fight, including their commander, and one of their trucks was recovered,” he said.
