Bandits have reportedly killed about 23 personnel of the Nigerian army, including three senior officers, in an ambush on a military convoy in Niger State.
The incident occurred early Monday morning between Zangiwa and Kangara in the state, military sources said.
A military source said an army major and two lieutenants with one identified as Y. Alkali were among the victims.
Meanwhile, efforts to reach Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, army spokesperson, for comment were unsuccessful as he didn’t respond to his messages sent to him.
