General Uba, the Brigade Commander of Damboa, has been confirmed killed by ISWAP terrorists after hours of being reported missing in the forest.
According to military sources who released the information, the commander had earlier made a video saying he was fine.
“He was okay,” they said, explaining that the video was recorded before his situation worsened.
However, after several hours, he reportedly became disoriented while moving through the forest.
Troops on the ground and air teams made multiple attempts to rescue him.
The commander had told them he was already on his way back to base, raising hopes of a quick recovery.
He was later re-captured by the terrorists following viral reports of his abduction.
His death was confirmed afterward.
Recall that the army had earlier claimed that he had returned to base. His death has now raised critical questions about the sincerity of the military regard the welfare of their men in the front.
