Nigerian soldier serving in Yobe rejoices at miraculous survival after bullet penetrates his sweater but not his body

A soldier serving in Azare, Yobe state, survived an attack this morning and took to Facebook to share the good news.

Sammy Jay Ajuwa and other soldiers were being attacked by Boko Haram insurgents when he was shot at. He was struck by a bullet which luckily made a hole in his sweater but lodged there and didn't enter his body. Sadly, some soldiers weren't as lucky.
