Boko Haram terrorists on Thursday night raided a military checkpoint around Zuma rock in Niger State, killing some soldiers in an operation which lasted for about 30 minutes.
ROYAL NEWS reports that the area which is close to Madalla town in the state is not far from Zuba along the Abuja Kaduna highway.
It was gathered that the attackers arrived at the spot some minutes after 7pm and opened fire immediately.
“They took control of the area for about 30 minutes and kept on shooting before heading towards Kaduna axis of the expressway,” the source said.
About 20 minutes after the terrorists left, solders from Zuma Barracks rushed to the scene and took full control while a patrol team of policemen also arrived at the place.
