OnyxNews Nigeria reports that Boko Haram has again attacked the convoy of Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, this time killing seven soldiers and two civilian JTF officers on Saturday.
In all, nine security men were killed in the attack.
This online news platform gathered that Zulum and his entourage were attacked along Gajiram to Monguno Road in Borno State.
The convoy was on its way to Baga in Kukawa Local Government Area as a security detail to the governor, who is spending two days with other government officials in the town to distribute relief items to newly settled IDPs.
The governor had earlier flown into the town with a Helicopter.
According to information from a source: “We were attacked by the gunmen who came with about six trucks and seven motorcycles. We engaged them but they have already destabilised.”
“We had no option than to abort the trip and returned back to Maiduguri with corpses of the deceased. About seven people died immediately but two of my colleagues (soldiers) died from gunshot injuries when we got back to Maiduguri,” the source revealed.
