Security expert Zagazola Makama reliably gathered that the troops from Sector 1 were ambushed while on patrol and escort duty along the Dansadau-Yar Galadima road.

The ambush, which took place at approximately 12:00 a.m. on September 21, 2024, occurred near the Mashayar Zaki area as the troops were escorting soldiers going on leave and civilian vehicles headed for a local market.

Reports indicate that one soldier paid the supreme price during the attack, while four others sustained injuries.

The wounded personnel have been evacuated to the 1 Brigade Medical Centre (BMC) for treatment. In addition, one of the patrol vehicles was damaged during the ambush.
