Suspected armed members of dreaded Boko Haram terrorists at the weekend ambushed motorists and passengers including soldiers and civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF members during escort along Gwoza- Limankara-Uvaha road, leaving one soldier and three passengers dead. Reliable Source told Vanguard on Sunday.

The terrorists also set ablaze five commercial vehicles including a security patrol vehicle, even as scores of motorists and passengers were either abducted or missing in action.

This is as Senator representing Southern Borno, Mohammed Ali Ndume has called for collaboration between military and youths in Gwoza to end renewed killings in the community.

Sources told Vanguard that the incident took place at about 5pm on Saturday, but due to telecommunication lapses delayed the information till Sunday afternoon.

Recall that last week, a member of the House of Representatives, representing, Gwoza/Chibok/Damboa, Hon Ahmed Jaha raized raised alarm over the killing of 10 farmers within a period of 10 days in Gwoza local government area. This is as the First Class Emir of Gwoza, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Mohammed Shehu Timta in an interview with Vanguard last week also lamented the slaughtering of farmers during harvesting.

” I can inform you that about three civilians and a soldier were killed in Boko Haram ambush along Gwoza-Limankara-Uvaha road.

“The deceased soldier (names withheld) for security reasons, was among the security agents escorting motorists and passengers before he was shot dead.

“About five commercial vehicles and a patrol vehicle belonging to CJTF were set ablaze, even as scores are still missing in the bush as at Sunday afternoon.

“Presently, our member, representing Gwoza at the Borno State House of Assembly, Hon Abdullahi Buba Abatcha and other concerned personalities have left Maiduguri to Gwoza to sympathize with families of the victims.” The Source said.

Meanwhile, confirming the incident, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume (Borno South) said, he was informed about the road ambush and other attacks by Boko Haram terrorists, but could not ascertain the number of casualties.

“Yes seriously, I was informed about the road ambush and other attacks by Boko Haram terrorists, but could not ascertain the number of casualties especially the road ambush by terrorists last Saturday in Gwoza.

“I knew that since the rainy season set in, several people particularly farmers in Gwoza were killed by terrorists.

“Although, the military have been doing their best in degrading or eliminating remnants of Boko Haram in the North East, but more need to be done considering the renewed killings in my constituency like Gwoza town.

“I want to also appeal to youths in Gwoza to wake up from their slumber and join the fight against Boko Haram like what Youths in Biu, Hawul, Askira-Uba, Chibok and other local government areas are doing in complementing efforts of security agencies in the fight against terrorism which have brought relative peace in those areas.

“I want to also call on the Local Government authorities in Gwoza to support men of the Civilian JTF, as well as the military to intensify efforts and address the renewed killings in Gwoza and its environs.

“It is regretable to inform you that most of these killings in Gwoza are perpetrated by Youths in Gwoza who have joined Boko Haram and refused to surrender as witnessed in recent times. Therefore, i reiterate that Youths in Gwoza should please stop demonstration or rioting whenever there was an attack, rather, they should join the forefront in the fight against Boko Haram like what is obtainable in many communities.

“My appeal to the military is to deploy more troops in Gwoza so that they can finish the work they have started, so that these intermittent attacks on our farmers will stop. People are seriously living in fear, they are scared of going about their economic activities, our farmers are no longer going to their farms to harvest their crops due to fear of the unknown, and is very worrisome.” Senator Ndume lamented.

Dem no born dia papa well to try that.

They won't push this to the frontpage quickly because it didn't happen in southeast.


Tinubu supporters will avoid this thread.

The idiots that were calling for reprisal attacks on innocent people by the army in a similar incident in southeast will suddenly become dumb.

Someone once said, "I'll tackle economy while my deputy will tackle insecurity".
Biggest lie of the century,

When will the MILITARY burn down homes and businesses. Kill defenseless Civilians...call them IPOB.?

Why will Tinubu supporters always avoid these kind of threads, when it concerns the NORTH, but are patriotic when it concerns the SE, that they blame for even their erectile dysfunctions?


Tomorrow is SIT @ home ooo!!...All Yoruba Military personnel should mount road blocks...

Everything is not baseless cowardice and useless propaganda, ...

the coward soldiers will never burn down properties, markets & schools in the north. one country, two system.

Will a whole village be burnt down because of this killing? Will agbadorians call for a total anihilation or warn the residents not to complain when the army burn down their village?

I blame South Eastern members of the army. I blame useless South East politicians. MNK will forever be celebrated. You cannot continue to deny people justice and expect love from them. Not done anywhere. Shame on agbadorians

Seems they have fully resumed...

Book haram fighters can never be up to 6,000 and we have active duty 230,000 military personnel in the Nigerian army and Co...

Are we now saying.. it's impossible for 230,000 active soldiers to defeat 6,000 terrorist?

Abi there something we are not understanding again?

Someone should explain...

Also... why are we purchasing fighters jets and drones if we ain't even using them constantly??

Hope the soldiers will open fire on the civilians there like they do in the SE.

This thread will end in page 3, this I have seen like FalseProphet except the heading is changed to South East

Where is Gbola Tinumbu and his rice bandit miscreants?

hhy

I expect the python dancers to go and burn down that Borno village.

Our military general are not strategic, it's a shame a gallant men are always killed in ambush due to poor Intel.

Tinubu has failed the North

So sad

I was even posted for NYSC in that state. How person go do ??

Now a Northerner is no longer the president, they have started using the name "Boko Haram". They don't call it "bandits "anymore.

That's family matters so long as it happened in the North
