Chairman of Akuku-Toru, one of the three local government areas in the Kalabari region, Rowland Sekibo, confirmed the attack to Channels Television via the telephone on Sunday, saying the soldiers were ambushed. 

He also said the two injured officers are in a critical state, adding that he had just left the scene of the incident as at press time.
