The Chief of Administration, Nigerian Army, Maj.Gen. Idris
Alkali, and the acting General Officer Commanding 7 Division, Nigerian Army,
Brig. Gen. Victor Ezugwu, escaped death from Improvised Explosive Devices
planted by Boko Haram.
According to a statement by the Director, Army Public
Relations, Brig. Gen. Sani Usman, the convoy of the two senior military
officers came across four hidden Improvised Explosive Devices during their
journey to Bama, Borno State.
The statement said that the convoy cleared four Improvised

from Bama to Gwoza at about 10am on Saturday.
Usman said, “They encountered the four clustered IEDs buried
at a point along the Banki Junction and Pulka Road about six kilometres to
Firgi in Borno State.
“The Explosive Ordinance Device team was, however, able to
quickly detect the IEDs and defused them.”
