Five killed as Boko Haram attacks ex-Borno gov’s convoy
[PUNCHNG] Five persons were killed in the convoy of former Borno State Governor, Sen Ali Sheriff, along the Maiduguri-Damaturu highway, a security source said.

The source, who spoke anonymously to our correspondent, said suspected members of Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
attacked Sheriff’s convoy around Auno, a few kilometres to Maiduguri, the state capital.

The source disclosed that Sheriff was coming into Maiduguri from Abuja on Thursday evening to take part in the third-day post burial prayer for his father, Galadima Sheriff, who died last week.

He said Sheriff had travelled in a convoy of nine exotic vehicles.

The source added that the convoy was trailed by suspected Boko Haram forces of Evil around Auno.

The source said suspected forces of Evil engaged the escort of Sheriff on Thursday about 6:30pm and in the crossfire killed two coppers, two civilians and a soldier.

He noted that one of the nine vehicles was damaged at Auno as the convoy was rescued by a team of the Rapid Response Squad deployed in Njimtilo to enforce the COVID-19 lockdown.

The source said the suspected marauders were pushed back by the team of Rapid Response Squad.
