– Three Soldiers Injured

The terrorists operating in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja are getting emboldened by the day as they ambushed men of the Guards Brigade.

Sources confirmed that the troops of the elite Guards Brigade, whose primary responsibility is guarding the FCT, especially the Presidential seat of government, were ambushed along Bwari-Kubwa road.

The troops were on routine patrol of the area when they were attacked.

The ambush is raising fears that the terrorists are laying siege in the Bwari area which houses the Nigerian Law School and the headquarters of the Joint and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

In fact, a source noted that they might be planning attacks on the Law School and other vital facilities in the area.

Meanwhile, the ambush was forcefully repelled by the Brigade of Guards troops.

 However, three soldiers were wounded in the attack and they are already being treated at a military hospital within Abuja.

The cryptic umessage on the attack titled ‘Ambush Attack Against Own Troops Of Gds Bde’ reads:
