What happened:<\/b>\u00a0<\/b>Boko Haram insurgents ambushed a convoy of the Nigerian Army’s 7th Division near Chibok in Borno State, resulting in the deaths of at least 12 soldiers, including a commanding officer, Major Olalekan Akintola, and left several others wounded. The soldiers were on a mission to locate and rescue schoolgirls abducted by the terrorists a month earlier.<\/p>\nHow and\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Why<\/i><\/b>:<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/i>The soldiers received unverified information about the location of the kidnapped girls, leading them into a trap set by Boko Haram near Chibok.\u00a0As the convoy advanced, Boko Haram fighters, having received intelligence about the troop movements, launched a coordinated ambush\u00a0and\u00a0attacked from both sides of the road, causing significant casualties before the soldiers managed to break through and retreat to Maiduguri.<\/h3>\n
Aftermath:\u00a0<\/b>Upon returning to their base, surviving soldiers, enraged by the perceived negligence of their commanders, mutinied. They fired shots at Major General Ahmadu Mohammed’s vehicle, narrowly missing him. Eighteen soldiers were arrested; twelve were later sentenced to death for mutiny.\u00a0The incident\u00a0also\u00a0led to the replacement of Major General Mohammed as the General Officer Commanding the 7th Division.<\/p>\nOur Lady of Fatima Apparition<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(<\/i><\/b>1917<\/i><\/b>)<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n
