Three soldiers killed as Boko Haram ambushes Nigerian troops in Borno (PHOTOS)

Boko Haram on Friday ambushed military patrol teams guarding ongoing construction works on Goniri-Kafa road in Borno State.

It was gathered that the jihadists attacked two military patrol teams comprising of 52 soldiers at about 4 pm and killed 3 soldiers, seized a gun truck, and burned an MRAP as well as a caterpillar.

The attack comes barely a month after security experts warned of Boko Haram’s desperate attempt to disrupt the return of normal activities in the North East of Nigeria by launching attacks on construction workers and troops deployed to protect them.
