Boko Haram Kills 18 APC Suppoters In Borno
Not fewer than 25 people including politicians who were on their way to
Maiduguri, the Borno State capital to attend the APC stakeholders
meeting/congress were, weekend, slaughtered by members of the Islamic terror
group, Boko Haram in separate attacks in Gwoza council area and along the
Maiduguri‑ Biu road.
Sources said: “About 18 delegates of the APC who were on their way to attend a
second stakeholders meeting slated for Sunday were ambushed by suspected
terrorists.
Our correspondent also learnt that seven motorists and passengers were shot
dead by suspected terrorists along the Maiduguri‑Biu road a few metres away
from Gwargube village.
The Maiduguri‑Biu road has become a death trap in the past few weeks, as hardly a day passes without cases of road attacks by the terrorists, despite the presence of security operatives patrolling the road.
A member of the vigilante youth, a.k.a Civilian JTF, who did not want his name
to be mentioned, in a telephone call said: “A group of terrorists, yesterday,
laid ambush to some motorists and passengers along the Maiduguri‑Biu road and
killed many people before they invaded Gwargube village and solicited support
from the villagers or risk deadly attacks.
On the 18 APC delegates who were ambushed in Gwoza, a survivor who attended
the meeting, yesterday, told our correspondent after the meeting that 18 of
his kinsmen were slaughtered by terrorists few minutes after their vehicle had
passed the scene of the attack.
