The convoy of Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State was attacked on Wednesday by terrorist sect , Boko Haram , along the Baga highway, in the northern part of the troubled state.
The area is believed to be dangerous and has recorded many abductions by the terrorist group in recent times .
It was on the same axis that five aid workers , who were killed about a week ago , were abducted in June this year.
A splinter of the Boko Haram sect , the Islamic State of West Africa Province , is believed to have a stronghold in the area.
The governor was seen leaving the state capital Maiduguri on Monday to personally oversee the distribution of palliatives to internally displaced persons in some local governments.
Zulum had left with a convoy with the intention to give palliatives to the IDPs to celebrate Eid - el -Kabir.
A member of the Civilian Joint Task Force told our correspondent that the governor ’s convoy ran into an ambush on Baga road on Wednesday evening .
The source said , “ Glory be to God. Governor ’s convoy was intercepted gunmen along the Baga road .
“ Fortunately, the convoy cleared them with two vigilantes and a policeman wounded . The convoy have since returned to Monguno town .”
The information about the attack is still sketchy and the motive behind the ambush unclear as of the time of filing this report.
Attempts to reach the spokesman for the governor , Isa Gusau , and the Borno State Commissioner for Information , Babakura Abba-Jatto did not pick their calls or reply to messages sent to their mobiles.

The drama is getting to the peak, the should have abducted the governor or some officials or abducted people from Buhari house and abduct some Emirs too.

Hmm

Its a welcome development.

Thank God for Zulum. Best Governor in Northern Nigeria

Hello my friend,

I just want to share with you a message about the love of Christ. John 3 vs 16 says God so much loved you that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ to shed his blood for you.

Dear friend, Jesus died so you can access salvation with eternal life. As you receive Christ into your life today, I assure you that you will never remain the same… 1 Corinthians 5 vs 17 says If any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.

How to experience this newness of life:
Step 1: Confess your sins to God, and ask Him to forgive you of past sins
Step 2: Repent from your sins, and do not return back to them
Step 3: Believe in your heart that you are now saved.

As you do these, continue in your Christian walk and relationship with God by fellowshipping with a Bible believing church, also prayer and continual study of the word of God will keep you going.

Thank God you’re now saved. God bless you

Boko haram don dey get balls o

This development is not good.
If our leaders with all the security details are attacked in this manner it implies that a common man can't dare the route
