The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya, has commiserated with troops who were involved in a road traffic accident on Thursday at Garin Kuturu, along Maiduguri- Damaturu road, while responding to a distress call.
According to a statement by the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, sadly, one of the Gun trucks conveying the troops skidded off the road and rammed into a road shoulder, causing the vehicle to somersault.
“Nine personnel who sustained varying degrees of injury in the accident have been evacuated and are currently receiving medical attention in a military medical facility. No fatality was recorded in the accident.
“Gen Yahaya lauded the troops for their swift response and urged them to be more circumspect during emergency operational responses.”
