Some gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram Islamic
sect, on Tuesday afternoon shot two soldiers attached to the Joint Task Force
(JTF)who were stationed at a military check – point in Ajilari- Railway cross,
a suburb of Maiduguri metropolis.
According to an eye witness who preferred anonymity said
the yet to be identified gunmen came on a tricycle each with an AK 47 rifles
took the soldiers unawares, and opened fire on them which led to the death of
two soldiers.
Confirming the incident, the JTF Field Operation
Commander, Col. Victor Ebheleme, said some unknown gunmen attacked members of
the JTF and shot two soldiers, stressing that his men responded quickly and
condoned off the area with a view to arresting the culprits.
Ebheleme however, denied any death arising from the
attack, saying that the wounded soldiers were receiving treatment at an
undisclosed hospital in the city.
He assured that JTF was on top of the current security
situation and urged the general public not to panic, but to go about their normal
businesses.
“As I am talking to you now, we are in the bush pursuing
those who perpetrated this dastardly act, and we are doing our best to see that
we arrest them, that is why you are witnessing massive traffic hold-up in the
city, and we are sure that we will get them”, he assured.
I wonder when Nigerian Army will be killing the Boko Haram because, it is getting too much. What do you have say about these?
