Some soldiers who have spent quite a number of time were given Pass to pay visit to their families/ loved ones. Unfortunately, while they were on their way from Marte to Maiduguri, they were ambushed by suspected armed ISWAP who fired a Rocket Launchers on the trucks conveying them, living about 30 soldiers dead, even as some are still missing in action.” Reliable Source said.
