COAS Sympathy WITH TROOPS INVOLVED IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT

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. 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.
