The convoy of Borno State governor, Babagana Zulum, was today attacked by suspected Boko Haram terrorists.

This incident came barely 48 hours after Zulum’s convoy was attacked by insurgents on Friday.

No fewer than 18 persons including security operatives were killed when suspected Boko Haram terrorists opened fire on the governor’s convoy and other vehicles conveying government officials to Baga, a town in the state, for the resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs).

NewsmakersNG learnt that today’s attack reportedly occurred along Baga-Kukawa axis of Borno.

Reports say one of the soldiers attached to the convoy sustained injuries during the attack.

In July, Zulum’s convoy was also attacked at Baga while he was on his way to some IDP camps in the northern part of Borno.
