Fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) have allegedly captured a Nigerian Army FV103 Spartan tracked armoured personnel carrier in Gorgi, a town in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
In a photo shared on its propaganga medium on Sunday, two insurgents who wore black balaclava and fatigue likely mimicking Army Special Forces, who use similar camouflage, were captured standing on the FV103 and holding a PKM machine gun and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.
