NSCDC Confirms Recovery of Four Bodies After Ambush by Boko Haram
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) spokesperson, Babawale Afolabi, has confirmed the recovery of four officers’ bodies following an ambush by Boko Haram insurgents. The attack occurred near the boundaries of Niger and Kaduna states during an inspection of the National Grid Installation.
Of the seven personnel initially reported missing, Afolabi revealed that two officers returned unhurt to base, four were found dead, and one remains missing.
The ambush, which targeted a convoy escorting expatriates stranded in Dagwachi Village after visiting a mining site, involved over 200 heavily armed insurgents. Despite being outnumbered, NSCDC officers reportedly killed over 50 insurgents in a fierce exchange.
The NSCDC Commandant General, Dr. Ahmed Audi, condemned the attack, describing it as a tragic loss. He expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and praised the bravery of the officers.
Dr. Audi urged Corps members to stay vigilant and called for public support to help security agencies tackle insecurity and safeguard lives and property.
He stated, “The personnel demonstrated an unwavering determination and commitment to the service of their fatherland; they deserve all the support they can get from the organisation and government.”
