Gunmen attack soldiers in Kaduna, kill one

Published on April 03, 2025 at 09:18 AM

Two soldiers from the 312 Battalion, Kalapanzi Barracks, have been attacked by armed assailants at Babar Saura in Kaduna State.

This was made known by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert focused on the Lake Chad region, in a post on his X handle.

Makama disclosed that he was informed by intelligence sources that three attackers, armed with sophisticated weapons, shot the soldiers, leaving one, Corporal James (surname unknown), dead and Private Ibrahim Bazalla injured.

The security expert stated that the assailants stole two AK-47 rifles from the soldiers before fleeing the scene.

According to the report, the victims were rushed to the 44 Army Reference Hospital, where Corporal James was confirmed dead, while Private Bazalla is receiving medical treatment for his injuries.

Makama revealed that the assailants were tracked to Degel 2, Kaduna, where they abandoned a silver Toyota Corolla following a coordinated operation by the military, police, and vigilante groups.

“As they attempted to escape, the attackers snatched a white Toyota Venza from a civilian, Abdullahi Mohammed, of Badarawa, Kaduna.

“Efforts to arrest the suspects and recover the stolen vehicle are ongoing,” he added.
