A newly promoted Lieutenant Colonel, alongside six others, have been reportedly murdered by Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.
According to Sahara Reporters, the Lieutenant Colonel identified as Mohammed was leading a troop of soldiers from Maiduguri to Damasak in the Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State when they came under attack by insurgents on Monday, January 26, 2026.
Military sources said the terrorists used explosives and heavy gunfire.
Apart from the dead bodies recovered, many other soldiers were seriously injured, while a yet-to-be ascertained number of personnel are also still missing.
“On January 26, 2026, troops from Maiduguri to Damasak, Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State, were ambushed, leading to the death of seven soldiers, including a Lieutenant Colonel, who was recently promoted from Major.
“There was information that the terrorists were operating in the area, so the Lieutenant Colonel, who was their Commander, mobilised them for surveillance. However, they were ambushed on their way.
“Their bodies are in the 7 Division Hospital now. The terrorists took away the late commander’s phone. Senior officers later called his line, and Boko Haram terrorists picked up the call,” SaharaReporters quoted a source saying.
Boko Haram and its offshoot, Islamic State West Africa Province, have killed thousands and displaced millions in Northeastern Nigeria.
