The Nigerian Military has confirmed the tragic death of a Commanding Officer and six soldiers following a combat encounter in Monguno, Borno State.
The incident occurred late on April 12, 2026, after troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) Sector 3 successfully repelled an isolated attack by terrorists.
Tragedy struck as the Commanding Officer moved toward the frontline to personally assess the situation.
His vehicle encountered an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), resulting in the death of the officer and his escort team.
“The Commanding Officer, while courageously proceeding to the troops’ location to personally assess the situation, encountered an IED... leading to his death alongside six other gallant personnel,” stated Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba.
Despite the loss, the military confirmed that the troops remain in firm control of the location.
The fallen officer is being hailed for his selfless service and for leading his men from the front in one of the nation's most challenging conflict zones.
