The occurred on Friday, November 14, along the Damboa-Biu road in Borno State. General Uba was leading a joint operation involving military personnel and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) when their convoy came under heavy fire. Initial reports indicate that two solrs and two CJTF operatives were ed on the spot.
