According to Sun News, over a dozen of travelers have been abducted by Boko Haram in an attack on a Borno highway Wednesday morning.
The insurgents mounted a roadblock at a bend between Mainok-Jakana along Maiduguri-Damaturu road at about 9 am Wednesday, multiple sources told Daily Sun.
“The mounted roadblock at a spot where the road is bent stopped a commercial vehicle and abducted all the passengers,” Malam Isa, a commercial driver disclosed.
A security source said the insurgents had earlier fired at some vehicles escaping from attack shortly before mounting the roadblock.
The scene of the attack is about 45 kilometers to Maiduguri, Borno capital.
