Several troops sent to the border towns of Borno and Adamawa
states for operation flush out Boko
Haram insurgents believed to have camped
at nearby Sambista forest, were involved in a fatal accident along
Madagali road and sustained various degrees of injuries today.
However, the
Army spokesman Captain Jafaru Nuhu when
contacted kept sealed lips, but local
residents said that the incident
occurred on a
tiny sharp bridge at Wuro
Gayandi, few kilometers away from Michika town on Madagali road. The soldiers were on their way to the troubled -border area of Madagali and Gwoza to flush out
dreaded members of Boko Haram.
‘’ A tinted armoured
vehicle being conveyed on truck crashed
into the small river, injuring the soldiers on aboard. The nature of the armoured vehicle means the injuries are more
severe," said Mr Musa Kwaji,
who assisted in conveying the injured
soldiers to a nearby cottage hospital in Madagali.
