Baring any last-minute change, the Nigerian Army will on Tuesday give soldiers recently killed on the front in the fight against insurgency a ‘secret and undignified burial’, multiple military sources told SaharaReporters.
In the last one month, Boko Haram terrorists have targeted soldiers, waiting in ambush for them.
About three soldiers were killed on Friday when the insurgents engaged the military in a four-hour battle to take control of Dikwa town in Borno State.
The Police in Enugu State has deployed Armoured Personnel Carriers and detachment of its officers to restore peace at a renewed violence in Oruku community in Nkanu East Local Government Area of the state.

The police claim they are misunderstood. Adamu’s tenure is wrapped in that understanding that that denies the police a chance to explain their unique challenges that straddle serving the public mainly at the instance of those who dictate what they consider national interest.
