Three soldiers of 14 Brigade Headquarters of the Nigerian Army, Ohafia, attached to the 144 Battalion have been feared killed in Aba, the commercial nerve of Abia State.
The troops were slain at the army station in the Aba North local government area, which is situated near the well-known Obikabia intersection off of Umuola.
The soldiers were caught off guard by the masked shooters who arrived in a black SUV.
It was said that the assailants also stole the soldiers’ firearms. Before they left, they set the outpost and their patrol van on fire.
As of the time of filing the report, military aircraft was sighted hovering around the city centre.
