Nigerian Commander dies after Boko Haram ambush
A Nigerian commander named as Colonel DC Bako has died after an ambush on his convoy by Boko Haram militants in the north-eastern Borno state.
The colonel's convoy was ambushed by militants on Sunday near Damboa, a few kilometres from Maiduguri, the main city in Borno state.
He was evacuated to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries on Monday.
Army spokesperson, Ado Isa, said Col Bako was the commander of the 25 Task Force Brigade in Damboa, where the military is battling Boko Haram insurgents.
He said Col Bako was "one of our gallant and finest war heroes".
The army was however silent on the fate of the soldiers who were reportedly with Col Bako during the ambush.
A military source told local media that six other soldiers died in the ambush.
The Nigerian army has suffered numerous setbacks since the Boko Haram insurgency started in 2009.

Nigerian healthcare workers suspend strike

Nigerian healthcare workers have suspended their strike that started in mid-September to demand for improved working conditions, payment of outstanding salaries and a review of Covid-19 allowances.
The Joint Health Service Union (Johesu) has asked its members to report to work on Monday.
The union represents nurses, laboratory scientists and pharmacists.
It did not give reasons for suspending the strike despite their demands not being met. It said the "next line of action would be decided in due course".
The strike by one of Nigeria’s largest healthcare unions came just days after doctors in the country suspended their early September over similar demands.
