At least 10 persons have been confirmed dead by
security and transport officials, after suspected
Boko Haram terrorists launched two different
attacks on the Damaturu-Maiduguri Highway.
The terrorists had, during the attack on the highway,
also set ablaze several vehicles, including those
conveying food items to Borno State.
The attacks, according to an online news medium,
Premium Times, took place some few kilometres
from Benisheik town, where terrorists dressed in
military fatigue and riding in armoured tanks killed
about 140 travellers on September 17.
A security source, who did not want to be named,
said most of those attacked were found beheaded.
“We found 10 corpses by the road side near
Benisheik just before Ngamdu Village; the victims
were beheaded and their heads placed on their
chests,” said the security source.
Some road transport officials also confirmed that
they saw the slain travellers.
Abubakar Haruna, an official of the National Union
of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) said: “The
killings were carried out between Ngamdu and
Benisheik. We were on our way to Maiduguri around
6.30a.m. on Monday when we saw the 10 dead
bodies,” he said.
It was also confirmed from the security sources that
four people were also killed along the route on
Saturday at a different spot near Benisheik.
The Yobe State Governor, Ibrahim Gaidam, on
Monday warned travellers plying the Damaturu-
Maiduguri Highway to be extra cautious of the road,
saying “driving on that highway is a dangerous
risk.”
However, travellers were left in fear, and many
have to put off their journey for fear of possible
attacks by Boko Haram.
Vehicles including trucks conveying food items
were set ablaze by the terrorists; a development
that could pose a threat of impending food shortage
in the area.
Another commercial truck driver, Iliya Lado, said:
"Despite these daily attacks, the roads are left
without adequate security personnel; one will travel
up to 50 kilometers without any manned security
post. We really do not understand what is
happening with the soldiers."
It was also gathered from transport workers that
many of the victims to the Boko Haram attacks
were those travelling to Damaturu to make phone
calls, due to the general communication shut down
in Borno for about four months now.
