Multiple military sources informed SaharaReporters about the incident, revealing that Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were employed in the deadly ambush. Civilians traveling on the road also met a tragic fate as their vehicles unknowingly triggered the planted IEDs.

The use of improvised explosive devices and ambush tactics continues to pose a significant threat to soldiers engaged in the fight against Boko Haram and ISWAP in Northern Nigeria.

According to one military source, “Right now, many soldiers and civilians who stepped on IEDs planted by Boko Haram have been killed along Fulka and Bama road.” The situation is described as dire, with the road completely blocked due to the incident. There are concerns that additional yet-to-be-discovered explosive devices may pose further danger.

Tragically, a pregnant woman lost her life in the attack, accompanied by a small child who miraculously survived. The source emphasized the ongoing threat posed by Boko Haram terrorists in the North East.

Another source reported heavy casualties, involving both soldiers and civilians. As of now, the remaining soldiers from the engineer unit are working to clear the road for other motorists.

Despite the gravity of the situation, the Nigerian military authorities have not provided a comment on the incident at the time of reporting.
