Boko Haram Kills Five In Attack On Reopened Highway - Vanguard by Beress(m): 5:57pm On Aug 19, 2016
Boko Haram killed five traders in an ambush on a highway in northeast Nigeria that was recently reopened after coming under repeated attack from the Islamist group, a military source said Wednesday.

A convoy of vehicles carrying Nigerian immigration officials and a group of traders were travelling from Gamboru, on the border with Cameroon, to the city of Maiduguri when they came under fire on Monday.
"Three (immigration) officers were hit and injured in the fire exchange. The immigration men drove off towards Maiduguri, leaving the traders behind," an army officer told AFP on condition of anonymity.

The five traders had joined the official convoy thinking it would be a safer way to reach the Borno state capital than travelling the notorious road alone.
The traders' two trucks were looted and set alight, Gamboru resident Umar Ari told AFP by phone, also confirming the toll of five dead.

The Gamboru to Maiduguri highway is a strategic 140-kilometre (87-mile) trade route in the region, and provides an important link with neighbouring Cameroon.
The highway was closed for safety reasons at the height of the Boko Haram unrest some two years ago, but was reopened by the Nigerian authorities following a string of successes against the militants.

"Since the Maiduguri-Gamboru highway was reopened two months ago convoys of trucks carrying goods and other vehicles conveying traders have been coming to Gamboru under military escort without any incident," said resident Ari.
Boko Haram, which seeks to impose strict Islamic law in northern Nigeria, has been blamed for some 20,000 deaths and displacing more than 2.6 million people since 2009.

A counter-offensive spearheaded by Nigeria since January last year has recaptured swathes of territory lost to the Islamist militants in 2014.
But sporadic attacks continue and security remains a major concern in the region.

Stop all these spurious annotations that money meant for arms was defalcated. Every sane Nigerian that is devoid of amnesia knows that weapons were bought in that period, soldiers was well taken care of including smoking allowances and all.

Even if some part of the funds were defalcated, but we can all attest to the fact that standard and sufficient weapons were bought.

So stop all the beguiling platitudes of yours.

You are talking of Jonathan, what weapons did Buhari procure for Nigeria when he was the military head of state? what did he do with his defense budget?

Oh Lord please heal our land.





These useless APC people should stop playing politics with the war on insurgency. Don't rush people back to their villages to make them sitting ducks to Boko Haram attacks neither should you reopen roads hastily just to gain media acclaim and give the impression that you are above board in your counter-insurgency. Work diligently, take your time to really wipe these guys out and while at that feed, cloth and care for the IDPs.


But asking all these from APC is liking asking Pique to say CR7 is the world best footballer. Awon oloriburuku eni iya. Useless party that's propagating poverty and hardship.
