Thursday, April 3, 2025 - Two soldiers from the 312 Battalion, Kalapanzi Barracks, have been attacked by armed assailants at Babar Saura in Kaduna State.
This was made known by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency
expert focused on the Lake Chad region, in a post on his X handle.
Makama disclosed that he was informed by intelligence
sources that three attackers, armed with sophisticated weapons, shot the
soldiers, leaving one, Corporal James (surname unknown), dead and Private
Ibrahim Bazalla injured.
The security expert stated that the assailants stole two
AK-47 rifles from the soldiers before fleeing the scene.
According to the report, the victims were rushed to the 44
Army Reference Hospital, where Corporal James was confirmed dead, while Private
Bazalla is receiving medical treatment for his injuries.
Makama revealed that the assailants were tracked to Degel 2,
Kaduna, where they abandoned a silver Toyota Corolla following a coordinated
operation by the military, police, and vigilante groups.
“As they attempted to escape, the attackers snatched a white
Toyota Venza from a civilian, Abdullahi Mohammed, of Badarawa, Kaduna.
“Efforts to arrest the suspects and recover the stolen vehicle are ongoing,” he added.
