By Bimbo Ogunnaike

Boko Haram miltant group on Sunday at Auno along the Maiduguri – Damaturu road at about 9:50pm killed 30 people and destroyed 18 vehicles.

According to an eyewitness, the insurgents came with superior power and chase security operatives before carrying out their evil acts.

” Some of the passengers were burnt with the vehicles while others die of gun shot wounds. There was no military presence in the area except for vehicles who arrived late and met the unfortunate incident as they fall victim in the attack.” the eyewitness said.

The military authority and the Police is yet to make statement to the effect.

Borno State Governor,  Babagana Zulum visited the scene of attack and was very sad on seeing the destruction of lives and property as he was taken round.

Residents of the area told the governor that, when the insurgents stormed the area and started shooting, they all fled to the bushes only to return home this morning (Monday) to witness such a devastation by the Boko Haram militants.

Zukum, however, asked members of the civilian JTF, and hunters to remain vigilant and work with the military and police to ensure that such incident does not occur again.
