Terrorists have killed three soldiers in a fresh attack on a military camp in Kemanji community, Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The attack occurred in the early hours of yesterday, with residents saying heavy gunfire echoed across the area during the invasion.

According to sources, the assailants, suspected to be armed terrorists, stormed the military camp without warning and engaged troops in a fierce gun battle.

The confrontation left three soldiers dead, while other personnel were said to have responded with a reprisal attack to repel the assailants.

One resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described the incident as sudden and violent, noting that the attackers took advantage of the early morning hours when some soldiers were asleep.

“Kemanji is a border community close to thick forest areas.

“Few of the soldiers were asleep around 3am when the terrorists invaded their camp and killed three of them before others responded,” the source said.
