The military convoy was heading to the town of Arege, near the borders with Niger and Chad, to deliver food supplies to troops fighting the jihadists in the area, said the sources, who asked not to be named since they were not authorised to speak on the incident.
The convoy was near the fishing town of Baga when it “fell into an ambush” by ISWAP jihadists at around 1400 GMT on Friday, another security source said. “The soldiers… were getting the upper hand when a suicide bomber set off his explosives-primed vehicles among the soldiers, and killed many of them,” the source said.
ISWAP said the explosion also destroyed “two armoured vehicles” and disabled four other vehicles”, according to SITE.
