An army officer and six soldiers have reportedly been killed after suspected terrorists ambushed Nigerian Army troops in Rigachikun, a garrison community in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
According to security sources, the attack occurred on Monday as the soldiers were returning from a clearance operation during which several terrorists were reportedly neutralised.
The ambush led to a fierce exchange of gunfire between the troops and the attackers, with casualties also reported among the terrorists.
The incident comes after weeks of intensified military operations along the Zaria–Kaduna highway aimed at dismantling terrorist networks in the area.
