Boko Haram kills five, abducts seven women

Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have attacked a convoy of vehicles carrying goods and passengers in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State, killing five people and abducting seven women.

The attack took place Thursday on the security-escorted convoy of commuters and good-transporting vehicles very close to the Nigeria-Cameroon border town of Banki in the LGA at about 2:30 pm.

An impeccable source travelling along the Maiduguri-Bama-Banki route, named Babagana Kaumi, confirmed via an audio message thus: “The convoy of commuter and goods vehicles tan into an ambush near Banki.”

He continued: “One of the vehicles developed a fault, and when such happens all the soldiers concentrate their attention on the faulty vehicle until it is repaired before the journey continues.

“That’s what happened that day; as the soldiers concentrated their attention on a vehicle that developed fault, the insurgents attacked, killing two commuters, the driver of one of the vehicles and his two assistants abducted about seven women and set the convoy ablaze.”

Kaumi said “Of recent, the insurgents only attack such convoys, snatching money and every valuable, including any good pair of shoes from commuters, leaving them to continue the journey alive and unhurt; but last Thursday, they attacked with anger.”

He said Boko Haram attacks have now become more rampant along the Nigeria and Cameroonian sides of the border.

USA failed to defeat the Taliban. Does that mean USA has a useless army? Militaries are not designed for asymmetric warfare. Thier MO is to bomb everything into oblivion, then claim the spoils. Can't do that, when your enemy hides within civilian populations.

these are just excuses...
Or you think the world does not know how many civilians the U.S killed in the name of fighting terrorists...
You can kill people but you can't kill ideas...

Just a slight misunderstanding between kinsmen.

Another babablu bulabu. Why are they escorting the convoy if they can't defeat the terrorists?

This is home soil and a terrorist group dey flog you in your home soil. Military in 21st century is not about bombing only, or you may bomb yourself.

INTELLIGENCE is key now.

Decrease poverty in the area. Get the children into schools, encourage investments, create jobs. That's the only way to end all terrorist activity. Guns and bullets can only do so much. Boko Haram is as a result of failed governance. The poverty rate in Borno was around 90% at the time of their first attack.
