Obinwannem News ISIS claims responsibility for recent attacks on Nigerian Soldiers

The Islamic State terror group, ISIS, has claimed its group is responsible for the recent attacks on the Nigerian Army that left 40 Nigerian soldiers killed and others severely injured in an ambush along Damboa/ Maiduguri Highway, about 30 kilometers away from Damboa town.

The group in a statement that has since been published by SaharaReporters said: “ISWAP fighters captured five four-wheel-drive vehicles, weapons and ammunition, and burned an armored vehicle during the attack”.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian military had on Wednesday confirmed the attack but claimed that only two soldiers were killed, contrary to the ISIS reports, which confirmed that the attack took place exactly in Bulabulin.

John Enenche, Coordinator of Defence Media Operations, had also said that the troops in conjunction with elements of sector 2 special forces overran the insurgents’ ambush team.
