Several soldiers sustained injuries after terrorists launched an ambush on troops heading to rescue kidnapped schoolgirls in Kebbi State.

The attack occurred just 24 hours after the Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, directed troops of Operation Fasan Yamma to go “all out” against the bandits responsible for abducting students of Government Girls Secondary School, Maga.

“You must continue day and night fighting. We must find these children,” Shaibu has ordered.

He further instructed commanders to leverage intelligence for intelligence-based operations, emphasizing: “Once you receive information on something like this, act professionally and decisively. This is not just about our image; it is about doing our job properly.”

Troops were ordered to maintain 24-hour operations until all abducted students are safely rescued and reunited with their families.

In compliance, the soldiers mobilized for the rescue mission but were ambushed by terrorists.

Video footage obtained by DAILY POST shows several injured soldiers lying helplessly without immediate medical attention.

One of the victims was heard speaking in Hausa language: “Musa has a bullet lodged in his leg. His condition is very bad.”

The troops’ operational vehicle was also riddled with bullet holes during the attack.
