A member of the community James Igbudu told The Nation that the soldiers were on patrol in the area when they ran into an ambushed laid by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
Mr. Igbudu stated that two days ago the suspected herdsmen had destroyed a bride between Baking Koota and Branch Umenger.
He said two soldiers were killed in the ambushed and two others including the Branch Umenger camp commandants.
