In a dramatic turn of events, an advanced convoy team of Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum fought off a fierce Boko Haram ambush along the treacherous Buni Gari-Buni Yadi road, gunning down an unconfirmed number of terrorists and rescuing seven kidnapped passengers from their clutches.
Intelligent sources told Zagazola Makama, a counter-intelligent experts that the convoy—comprising battle-hardened troops of Operation Hadin Kai, a Police Crack Team, and senior government officials—was returning from Biu Local Government Area when they encountered the terrorists, who were in the middle of abducting travelers from a Golf car.
Although Governor Zulum had earlier departed by helicopter and was not present, his security team sprang into action.
With rapid precision, the troops engaged the insurgents in a relentless gunfight, overwhelming them and forcing a hasty retreat.
The terrorists, unable to withstand the firepower, abandoned their captives and attempted to escape into the bush.
But the battle didn’t end there. The security forces relentlessly pursued the fleeing insurgents, neutralizing several and seizing their weapons and motorcycles in a resounding show of force.
Despite the intensity of the clash, all security personnel emerged unscathed, while the seven rescued passengers were swiftly secured.
