While those who sustained injuries during the ambush have been receiving treatment at a military medical facility in Abuja, efforts are currently on to locate and rescue the six missing officers.

A source , however, said there may be likelihood that some soldiers who escaped the ambush with bullet wounds may have paid the “supreme price but until they are found, they will still be considered as MIA.”

Spokesman of Guards Brigade, Captain Godfrey Anebi Abakpa had on Monday in Abuja confirmed that terrorists ambushed troops attached to the Presidential Guards Brigade, as they were conducting patrols in Bwari area as a result of intelligence that the Nigeria Law School in Bwari may be attacked.

Authorities of the Law School were said to have alerted the public that terrorists had dropped a letter indicating an imminent attack.

Captain Abakpa said the troops were in the school area in response to distress calls from the Law School and some residents.

According to him, the troops were attacked while combing the vicinity to locate and flush out the terrorists. (Vanguard/vitalnewsngr.com)
