According to a report by The PUNCH, the death toll from Boko Haram
attack on the convoy of Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has risen
to 30, security sources said Saturday.
Two sources told AFP the number of fatalities from the attack Friday had
doubled as more bodies were found and now included 12 policemen, five
soldiers, four members of a government-backed militia, and nine
civilians.
“The tally has increased to 30 as many bodies were picked in the
surrounding areas after the attack,” one of the sources said, adding
that “many people were injured”.
The PUNCH had reported that an ambush on the convoy of the Borno State
Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Friday left about 15 persons dead.
The governor’s convoy was said to have been attacked between Monguno and Baga areas of the state.
A security source said the attack left mainly security personnel
comprising eight policemen, three soldiers and four Civilian Joint Task
Force operatives dead.
A source at the Borno State Government House in Maiduguri also told our
correspondent that the governor had left Maiduguri for Baga to prepare
for the planned return of internally displaced persons from Maiduguri to
the camps in Baga.
The governor was said to have left Maiduguri with a retinue of armed soldiers, police officers and Civilian-JTF personnel.
A senior police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated
that he was told eight persons were killed, including security personnel
and civilians.
Friday’s incident is the second attack on the governor’s convoy in recent times around Baga.
