Recall that three months ago, three soldiers of the Nigerian Army Guards Brigade’s 7 battalion sustained injuries in an ambush by gunmen around the Bwari -Kubwa road, in Abuja.
Few days later, The Nigerian Army confirmed the death of three soldiers who sustained injuries when its troops from the Guards Brigade’s 7 battalion ran into an ambush by terrorists.
