Three soldiers of the Guards Brigade of the Nigeria Army have been shot in a Terrorists ambush in Abuja.
Luckily, all the three soldiers who were hit by bullets survived the attack and are undergoing treatment at the 7 Guards medical Centre, Abuja.
The Guards Brigade is the elite force of the Nigerian Army which secures the President, Vice President, their families and indeed the Federal Capital Territory.
The Network gathered that the soldiers attached to the 7 Guards Battalion were on patrol duty at the Bwari Area of Abuja when they ran into heavy gun attack from the terrorists along Kubwa-Bwari road.
A situation report on the attack confirms the military’s suspicion that the terrorists are operating in the Bwari axis of the FCT.
The report stated that the terrorists might be operating in the area with the intent to carry out an attack on the Nigeria Law School.
The signal message titled Ambush Attack Against Own Troops Of Gds Bde’ reads: ““troops on routine patrol along Kubwa – Bwari were ambushed by suspected terrorists. Three soldiers were injured during the attack. The soldiers have been evacuated for medical attention. Details on the extent of their injuries are still under confirmation.
