More than 20 people were feared dead after Boko Haram gunmen opened fire on a convoy of motorists travelling under military escort in northeast Nigeria, witnesses told AFP on Monday. The exact toll from the ambush on the main road between Maiduguri to Damboa on Saturday was unclear, with numbers varying from two to as high as 15 and 24. But according to travellers who survived the attack and local rescuers, at least 15 trucks laden with food were seized when the Islamists struck at the Korowaso forest on Saturday.

“The attackers appeared from the bushes as the convoy slowed down at a part of the road riddled with potholes and opened fire on the vehicles,” said one of the drivers, Idrissa Kyari. “They killed 15 people and injured nine while many passengers fled into the bush after subduing the military escorts. They also took away 15 trucks carrying food into the bush.” Two students from of University of Maiduguri were killed in the attack with three others injured, said a teacher at the university on condition of anonymity. Masida Umar, a civilian vigilante assisting the military against Boko Haram, said: “We evacuated 24 dead bodies and several injured to hospital.


“Many people fled into the bush and have not been seen despite deployment of a search team.” Umar said there were fears Boko Haram may have captured those who fled. The militia member said the rebels were believed to have launched the attack from Sambisa forest, which connects with Korowaso. – Supply lines cut – Last month Nigeria’s military claimed to have dislodged Boko Haram from their last stronghold in the former game reserve after a months-long offensive. But residents in the area have said fighters were still hiding in areas on the edge of the forest. Military and police authorities declined to comment on the incident when contacted by AFP. The 90-kilometre (55-mile) Maiduguri-Damboa road was nominally reopened last February, allowing motorists to ply the highway but only under military protection. It had been closed in 2013 following a spate of deadly attacks on motorists, as Boko Haram seized swathes of territory in Borno and two neighbouring states.


In the last two years a coordinated fightback against Boko Haram involving Nigerian troops and soldiers from Cameroon, Chad and Niger has successfully clawed back lost territory. That has put pressure on Boko Haram, substantially cutting its food, fuel and weapons supplies. As a result Boko Haram has carried out raids on farming communities as well as highway ambushes in its search for food and fuel. Last Thursday, at least three Nigerian soldiers were killed when Boko Haram fighters on camels raided a military post near the home of the country’s army chief in Borno state.

Chuck Schumer's crying over Muslim refugees.

After supporting the attack on Libya that led to the deaths of thousands of Muslim refugees.

I support this

President Trump says bigger problems were caused at airports by a Delta glitch, protesters and 'the tears of Senator Schumer' than his order

President Trump knows what he is doing

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the "bad" would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad "dudes" out there!

Chris Kyle's Iraqi interpreter says we shouldn't blame President Trump for trying to protect the U.S.

Finally A President with balls

How is this for hypocrisy: all of the 7 Islamic nations temporarily banned by President Trump permanently ban Israelis from their nations. What moral authority do they have to complain about temporarily receiving what they permanently give to others? If it hurts Libya, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq and Iran to be prevented from visiting the US, then why do they do it to Israel and why do you protest on their behalf. These nations and their liberal friends on social media and real life who want equity must come to equity with clean hands and also be prepared to do equity

obixcel:
Obama did a similar ban back in 2011 on Iraqi refugees, no one on d msm cried a tear. Nevertheless I may have a soft spot on d folks that took off from their countries just b4 d ban was placed. Simple thing is the Potus is following up on his campaign promises and has specifically stated dat it isn't a "Muslim ban" like what most people are concluding.

We are living in tough times bro no time for soft spot. The guys we are dealing with are ruthless and wicked,,,
These people should be thanking Trump for trying to keep them safe.

"Trump’s decision to ban arrivals from 7 Muslim countries will boost extremism", warns Iranian foreign minister


Wait so banning anyone from entering a country will make them tie exploxives on their body and blow up other people? Trump is right then. #BanThemAll

The ongoing jihadi love affair by the left is proof America saved herself by electing President Trump. Otherwise she will be a Muslim cesspool.

Am I the only one who thinks California should be allowed to go and that Trump should build a giant wall separating California from the rest of the country?

It is over for the free loaders

“They’re sneaky, dirty rats,” Trump told Fox News's Sean Hannity in an interview airing Thursday night. "These are bad people.”

“They blow people up in a shopping center, and they blow people up in a church,” Trump added of the radical Islamic terrorist group. "[They] are sick and demented, and we’re going to win.”

“We have evil that lurks around the corner without the uniforms,” he said. "The people we’re going against, they don’t wear uniforms.”

“When you’re fighting Germany and they had their uniforms and you’re fighting Japan and they had their uniforms and they had their flags on the plane and the whole thing — we are fighting sneaky rats right now, ” Trump added, referencing World War II.

Trump vowed during his inaugural speech last week that the U.S. would spearhead efforts to eliminate radical Islamic terrorism.


“We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones — and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth, ” he said during his Jan. 20 address.
