Recall that the military, through its Director, Public
Relations, Brig.-Gen. Mohammed Yerima, in a statement on April 9, confirmed the
killing of the 11 troops by local militias in Konshisha LGA of the State.
The troops who were on stabilization operation in the state
over the communal crisis between Konshisha and the Oju LG were initially
