Two policemen and four soldiers have reportedly been kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents along Damaturu-Maiduguri road.
The security officers were reported to have been attacked in an ambush near Auno village on Damaturu-Maiduguri road.
The insurgents who disguised in military uniforms were said to have mounted a roadblock on the highway with three Hilux vans before taking away the hostages who were returning from a short break.
“Four military men were abducted in an 18 seater bus while two other policemen were abducted in a Gulf car,” The Cable quoted one of the sources.
However, Sagir Musa, army spokesperson, was not available to comment on the development.
