(VIDEO): Many Injured as Terrorists Attack Nigerian Soldiers on Mission to Rescue Abducted Kebbi Schoolgirls

In Kebbi State, several soldiers were injured during an ambush carried out by terrorists targeting troops on their way to rescue kidnapped schoolgirls.

This incident took place just a day after the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, instructed the troops of Operation Fasan Yamma to intensify their efforts against the bandits responsible for the abduction of students from the Government Girls Secondary School in 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 (not by ThePapers) 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.
