It was learnt that the soldier opened fire, resulting in the killing of at least one female humanitarian aid worker and also injured a United Nations pilot.The soldier was said to have walked off his base at about 3pm Thursday and went on a shooting rampage using an AK-47 rifle.
The situation forced the international non-governmental organisation passengers waiting to board a helicopter back to Maiduguri to scamper for safety, a source in the United Nations told Zagazola Makama, a Counter-Insurgency expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad.
According to the report, after the soldier exhausted his bullet, he brought out a jack knife and stabbed a female staff of Medecins du Monde (France) on Nigeria Mission, four times killing her before injuring the helicopter pilot.
