“I left Damaturu very early with the hope of arriving Maiduguri around 9 a.m. for an engagement but on reaching Ngamdu, the road was closed,” one traveller said.
“Some security personnel told us to be patient that there was problem on the road. But residents said the Boko Haram attacked the soldiers and killed some of them,” another commuter, who requested anonymity, added.
Sources within the community disclosed that the militants caught the soldiers off guard, sparking an intense gun duel that lasted for several hours before the insurgents eventually withdrew.
“The attack lasted for hours before the insurgents retreated, but they killed and wounded soldiers,” a source confirmed.
A security operative, however, downplayed the extent of the casualties, stating that the troops successfully repelled the attackers.
“Well, the terrorists attempted an ambush but our gallant soldiers have repelled them, and we have the a good fight,” he said.
When pressed about the losses, the source explained: “Yes, some soldiers were wounded and taken to hospital, but the many insurgents were also killed.”
As of the time of filing this report, the Nigerian military had yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
