Boko Haram attacks Zulum’s convoy again

Babagana Zulum of Borno State

Boko Haram fighters on Sunday launched another attack on the convoy of Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum.

This came days after the governor’s convoy was attacked on Friday which left about 30 persons dead.

The latest attack took place about two kilometers away from Baga, but with no casualties.

“There was no death recorded this time around except some minor injuries. The windscreen of some vehicles was shattered, some vehicles had their tyres busted by gunshots, including the Government House Press Crew bus,” a source told PUNCH.

“The military gun truck was also shot at and a soldier had his shoulder scalded with a gunshot.”

The location of the attack, Baga, was displaced by the Boko Haram insurgents 21 months ago, forcing most of the residents to take refuge in Monguno and Maiduguri.

Zulum was on an assessment tour of Baga in preparation for the return of thousands of residents displaced from the town by the jihadists in 2014.
