A Major of the Nigerian Army, Churchill Orji, has died in Anambra while trying to save the residence from an explosive device.
A report suggested that the improvised Explosive Device (IED) was planted at Orsumoghu, Ihiala, in Anambra state by unknown gunmen who took to their heels after they got information of the Army coming for them.
Major Orji was said to be part of the team to detonate the device but unfortunately lost his life after the device went off during the process.
A source from ‘the Nigerian Lawyer‘, reported that the device was deactivated, but one proved particularly difficult.
“It is at the point that Major Orji came to assist, but, unfortunately, the device exploded, killing him and causing injuries to the other soldiers,” the source said.
