According to reports, the event, which occurred early Friday morning while the soldiers were on patrol, sparked animosity in the region.
The terrorists ambushed the soldiers at the popular Tonimas crossroads, Osisioma LGA axis, on the Enugu-Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway, according to The Nation.
As of press time, details of the incident were vague, however it was learned that the attackers set fire to the soldiers’ patrol van.
