Identities of Buhari’s body guards killed by terrorists in Abuja revealed

Identities of some of the officers who were killed by terrorists in an ambush in Abuja have been revealed.

It was gathered that a captain and two soldiers were among the troops killed by terrorists in the Bwari area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Sunday night

The deceased officers, who were attached to the Presidential Guards Brigade, were reportedly ambushed after they visited the Nigeria Law School in Bwari following a distress call from the authorities of the school.

The school management was said to have alerted that terrorists had dropped a letter indicating an imminent attack.

Spokesman of the Guards Brigade, Captain Godfrey Anebi Abakpa, confirmed the attack, but said troops were already combing the area in order to ensure that terrorists were not hibernating there.

It was learnt that Lieutenant Ibrahim Suleiman and Captain Samuel Attah, who were indigenes of Kogi State, were killed in the ambush.

Suleiman was the son of Col Suleiman Ahmodu Babanawa (rtd). He hailed from Okpo in Olamaboro Local Government Area. Late Attah was from Ibaji local government of the state.
