Breaking: Over 200 Almajirai children abducted in Niger State
iexclusive News Nigeria reports that gunmen have killed two soldiers at a military checkpoint in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi state.
This online news medium gathered that the incident took place around 9pm on Monday.
“The gunmen also carted away the riffles of the two dead soldiers,” the source said.
Another source said when the gunmen arrived at the checkpoint, the military men stopped them for a search but they opened fire immediately.

The military is yet to issue a statement on the attack. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
