Troops of the Nigerian Army were attacked by terrorists in the early hours yesterday, at Kankomi, Chikun LGA, in Kaduna State.
However, the attack was repelled with one of the attackers killed, while others escaped with gunshot wounds.
According to the feedback by the Kaduna State Government, the attackers made an attempt to infiltrate the location housing the troops.
The vigilant troops, in response, engaged them in a fierce gun duel which lasted for over an hour. This resulted in the elimination of one of the terrorists, who was wearing military camouflage combat gear. Others reportedly escaped with bullet wounds, as evidenced by bloodstains along their withdrawal route.
The troops recovered one AK-47 rifle, seven AK-47 magazines, seven rounds of ammunition, and five locally made grenades from the terrorists.
Unfortunately, while exploring the withdrawal route, soldiers discovered that the terrorists killed three people in their attempt to escape.
