According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert, three attackers with sophisticated weapons shot the soldiers, leaving Corporal James dead and Private Ibrahim Bazalla injured.

The assailants made off with two AK-47 rifles, but their escape was short-lived. Following a coordinated operation by the military, police, and vigilante groups, the attackers were tracked to Degel 2, Kaduna, where they abandoned a silver Toyota Corolla.

Private Bazalla is currently receiving medical treatment at the 44 Army Reference Hospital, where Corporal James was unfortunately pronounced dead. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, and efforts are ongoing to apprehend the suspects and recover the stolen vehicle.

“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.
