The major highway between Maiduguri to Damboa has been closed as troops of Operation Hadin Kai engage Boko Haram members in a fierce shootout.

DAILY POST gathered that suspected members of Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād, Boko Haram terrorists group, ambushed troops of Operation Hadin Kai escorting commercial vehicles from Maiduguri to Damboa in Falouja village in Borno State, northeast Nigeria.

A local source, who escaped the attack told Zagazola Makama, a counter insurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad that the ambush which triggered a heavy exchange of gunfire between the terrorists and the soldiers, forced the passengers in the convoy to scamper for safety.

The security source disclosed that the terrorists attacked the troops with a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG), before following it with a rapid gunfire.


The sources said that one soldier was killed after sustaining bullet wounds, while three others injured were evacuated to Damboa hospital for treatment.

“Despite the attack by the insurgents, the troops were able to safeguard all the passengers to their safe destination,” he said.

This shows how much we don't know about the security situation in the country, such a dull statement. If we check, he will be IPOB.

Igbos are the only human in this country.
Why ?
Imagine this report is from Abia or any Igbo state, it would av been flooded. Because their lives MATTER a lot.
I wish my people will acknowledge this and stop envying Igbos

Laalaalaalaa...
Is this not the same road that barely three weeks ago Festus Keyamo said it is cleared, free and safe for travelers and that normalcy had since returned to the area and that he can also drive alone without security escorts on the Kaduna - Abuja express road to and fro Kaduna from FCT just to prove that security has since been fully restored and so enjoin all to support the APC presidential candidate in 2023?
