Unknown g#nmen have reportedly att@cked and k#lled unspecified numbers of soldiers at a checkpoint around Zuma rock in Niger State.
It was gathered that the att@ck occurred close to Madalla town, few meters away from Zuba along the Abuja-Kaduna highway, on Thursday night, July 28.
Daily Trust reports that the terr@rists arrived at the spot some minutes after 7pm and opened fir€ on the troops, k#lling some.
“They took control of the area for about 30 minutes and kept on sh@@ting before heading towards Kaduna axis of the expressway,” the source said. Adding that about 20 minutes after the terr@rists left, soldiers from Zuma Barracks rushed to the scene and took full control.
The incident occurred days after terr@rists battled the Presidential Guards Brigade along the Kubwa-Bwari road in Abuja. The Brigade, an elite arm of the Nigerian Army, is responsible for protecting the President of Nigeria.
