Hardly a day passed since
unknown
gunmen, allegedly belonging to
the
dreaded Boko Haram sect,
ambushed
motorists in Borno State
villages of
Gwoza-Firgi-Ngurosoya federal
highway,
when, on Monday, another
group of
insurgents assaulted motorists
along the
troubled Maiduguri-Damboa-
Biu road.
The first incident resulted in
death of five
passengers, one of whom was
en route to
Maiduguri to attend his
brother's wedding.
In the course of the second
attack, two
trucks loaded with oranges and
a Toyota car
were set ablaze, and the drivers
were
abducted, their destination still
unknown.
The last incident, it was
gathered, took place
not far away from Iimanti/
Bullabulin
Ngarwa communities, notorious
for
previous deadly road attacks
masterminded
by Boko Haram.
A motorist/driver who managed
to escape
the attack and identified himself
as Mallam
Musa Usman, narrated that the
incident
occurred at about 9am on
Monday. A group
of terrorists, while crossing over
the
highway from their camps in
Sambisa Game
Forests, came across a number
motorists on
the road, barricaded them, and
set the
vehicles ablaze.
