At least four officers of the 25 Task Force Brigade of Operation Hadin Kai have been reportedly maimed after running into an improvised bomb (IED) in Borno.
A counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, disclosed this in a series of tweets on Tuesday.
The troops were said to be on a fighting patrol along Wajiroko-Sabon Road in the Damboa Local Government Area when their vehicle drove over the planted IED.
The IED was allegedly planted by Boko Haram
...not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...bad boys.
"At least four soldiers were maimed after a roadside improvised bomb (IED) struck a convoy of troops during a fighting patrol along Wajiroko-Sabon in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State on January 30," Zagazola tweeted.
"They were believed to be from Wajiroko under the 25 Task Force Brigade, Operation Hadin Kai. The maimed soldiers were transferred to the Maimalari hospital for medical management."
Improvised bombs and ambushes continue to pose a major threat to soldiers fighting Boko Haram and ISWAP Death Eaters in Northern Nigeria.
