The war against insurgency loses momentum and thus suffers setback after after troops ran into an ambush by suspected members of the Islamic States West Africa Province (ISWAP) who attacked Garin Giwa village in Kukawa local government area of Borno state.
Military sources said no fewer than ten soldiers were killed while many others sustained injuries in the attack which happened on Wednesday morning.
Two gun trucks were reportedly taken from the troops who were on a routine patrol when their convoy came under attack.
“The troops engaged the terrorist in an encounter which lasted for about 30 minutes, and as a result we lost 10 of our special forces soldiers. The insurgents took us by surprise,” one of the sources said.
“Our wounded soldiers have been taken to Mile 4, while those killed have been transported back to Maiduguri.”
Despite repeated claims of defeating the sect, insurgents have continued to launch attacks across the north-east.
