Some weapons and N28 million were reportedly seized when gunmen ambushed a military logistic vehicle conveying weapons to soldiers deployed to suppress communal clashes in Benue state.
A military source said the incident happened on Tuesday.
He said the communities involved in the crisis were in Oju and Konshisha local government areas of the state.
The source said the military headquarters had begun investigation into the issue.
He said no conspiracy was suspected on the part of the soldiers, but the situation was disturbing to the military hierarchy who wondered how easily soldiers could be waylaid by hoodlums.
