Citizens of Taraba were thrown into fear as at least 7 men of the Nigerian Army were reportedly killed after a sound suspected to be a bomb explosion rocked the State capital, Jalingo on Tuesday, May 10.
The explosion is said to have occurred a few metres away from the military base located in the Jalingo metropolis.
It was gathered that the latest attack on the Nigerian Army came barely two weeks after some fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Boko Haram in Borno State were neutralized by troops of the Nigerian Army (Operation Desert Sanity).
