…Attacks Zulum’s convoy
For the second time in three days,the convoy of Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, was again attacked on Sunday morning.
The latest attack, which recorded no death, occurred when the convoy was returning to Maiduguri.
The PUNCH gathered that the attack happened around 10.30 am on Sunday, about two kilometers away from Baga.
The convoy, according to some of the people who returned to Maiduguri on Sunday evening from the tour, was shot at by suspected Boko Haram terrorists.
One of them, said, “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.
“The military gun truck was also shot at and a soldier had his shoulder scalded with a gunshot.”
The PUNCH had reported that an ambush on the convoy of the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Friday left about 30 persons dead.
The governor’s convoy was said to have been attacked between Monguno and Baga areas of the state.
Baga town was displaced by the Boko Haram insurgents 21 months ago, with most of the residents taking refuge in Monguno and Maiduguri.
It will be recalled that no fewer than 30 persons in the governors convoy most their lives when it was attacked Friday while returning from Baga.
Sundays attack on Governor Zulum is the third in two months while the military posted to the war thorn area in the north eastern part of the country were caught napping.
The frequent attack and insecurity in the region had cause the leaders in the North east to call on the federal government of President Buhari to do something about the security situation.
