Suspected Boko Haram insurgents on Monday ambushed a monitoring team of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Kaduna State.
The NSCDC spokesman, Afolabi Babawale, said in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja the team operatives were returning from an inspection of the National Grid installation in Shiroro, Niger State when they came under attack in the Farin-Kasa area of Chukun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
He said the team which comprised nine officers and 71 other ranks was mobilised following recent attacks on power lines in the northern part of the country.
