Four lives lost after soldiers sending reinforcements to Borno to tackle Boko Haram, had an auto crash
A video that was shared online shows the fatal moment a Nigerian military troop were involved in a quite ghastly auto-crash while on their way to Borno to tackle Boko Haram insurgents who’d taken hostage of travellers along Maiduguri-Damaturu Road.
The video was being casually made to show the gallant troops in their military vans making their way into Borno through Jakana town as onlookers and residents of the area watched in amusement… The spectator who made the video is heard saying they’re army reinforcements going to Borno to fight Boko Haram insurgents.
As he made the video showing the military convoy, moving in top speed, a screeching sound is heard seconds later and focusing his camera on where the sound came from, onlookers can be seen dashing away as one particular military van is seen somersaulting on the road.
