One soldier was gunned down as troops of the Combat Team of the 8 Division repelled a terrorist ambush during a patrol in Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
This was disclosed in a post on X by security expert, Zagazola Makama.
Zagazola revealed that the troops from Forward Operating Base, FOB, Raka came under attack at about 5:30 p.m. on July 14 while on patrol around Zurmuku Village.
He said the terrorists launched the ambush as the patrol approached the area, but the troops responded decisively and fought their way out of the attack.
He added that during the encounter, one soldier sustained gunshot wounds and was evacuated to a medical facility for treatment.
