Security personnel attached to the convoy of Borno State governor, Prof Babagana Umara Zulum have intercepted a Boko Haram operation close to Gujba town, along Damaturu \u2013 Biu road in Yobe state.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The personnel also recovered a rifle loaded with ammunition, a motorcycle abandoned by the fleeing terrorists, and rescued some kidnapped travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our correspondent reports that the incident happened around 4:48pm, when the convoy was returning from Biu where Mr Zulum commissioned some projects in Biu and Hawul LGAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Governor Zulum alighted from the convoy to attend urgent official engagement in Maiduguri, leaving top government dignitaries to lead the contingent back to the state capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rescued driver, Malum Ari, told our correspondent how the insurgents armed with rifles blocked the highway and seized his Volkswagen golf, forcing the passengers to lie down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey collected the car key and asked the passengers to lay on the ground with their faces down. Luckily enough, they sighted the convoy, which greeted them with a \u2018heavy fire\u2019, and forced them to retreat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey were over twenty men armed with rifles. One of them even cooked his riffle to scare me, but the terrorist was so scared upon sighting the convoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe fell on the ground twice before he finally jumped on another motorcycle to escape. You are sent by God to rescue us from the terrorists,\u201d said Ari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the passengers said Boko Haram attacks have become daily occurrence on the highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey always block the road in broad daylight,\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack came barely three days after the insurgents laid siege to the Gujba town, killing a 32-year-old vigilante, Modu Bulama, and setting ablaze shops and other residential buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe insurgents moved from house to house, searching for vigilante members before killing Modu Bulama as he attempted to escape<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a shame that gunmen will have the affront to attack towns and the highway unchallenged. We are in trouble,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the Boko Haram terrorists had attacked the home of a police inspector, Malam Jibrin, in Buni Yadi town, Gujba LGA, killing his two sons and setting their corpses and the house on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the Boko Haram terrorists had attacked the home of a police inspector, Malam Jibrin, in Buni Yadi town, Gujba LGA, killing his two sons and setting their corpses and the house on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack occurred eight days ago in Shuwari Baban Layi area of the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jibrin, who serves as the crime officer at the Buni Yadi police station, managed to escape by scaling the fence of his house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, two weeks ago, the terrorists abducted a Professor Abubakar Eljuma of the Nigeria Army University Biu (NAUB) and other passengers on the same highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a similar circumstance, a high court judge of Borno State, Justice Haruns Mshelia, was abducted alongside his wife, orderly and driver, on the same road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mshelia was later released after a huge ransom was paid with a promise to return home and arrange $500,000 for his wife, orderly and driver\u2019s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
