Gunmen Ambush, Kill 4 Soldiers In Sokoto



Gunmen on Saturday night laid an ambush and shot dead four personnel of the Nigerian Army in Gudu local government area, a border community of Sokoto State.

Seven other military personnel were wounded as a result of gunshots and currently receiving emergency treatment at the Gudu General Hospital but expected to be referred to the Usmanu Danfodiyo Teaching Hospital, Sokoto for extensive care.

The bandits also set ablaze two operational vehicles of the security personnel.

This latest attack was disclosed to newsmen in a telephone conversation by the Sole Administrator of the local government, Honourable Umar MaiKano Balle.

Recall that suspected terrorists had last week attacked and killed eight farmers, rustling over 1,260 livestock in the area.

Balle narrated that, “Many of us residents, escaped the ambush by whisker, thanks to the quick response of the security personnel.

“This attack was in connection with the synergy, determination, hard work and dedication between the council management and the security operatives to stem Banditry activities in the area.”

He, however, confirmed that relative normalcy has returned to the area after deployment of additional security personnel to the area as a result of the incident.
