Reliable information obtained from some of the escapee, said, the terrorists barricaded the road near Matari village close to Jakana at about 8:25am.

Sources said, scores of vehicles and passengers were trapped after looting properties by the abductors.

A security Source who confirmed the incident said, “Boko Haram fighters have abducted dozens of people including a staff of the United Nations (UN) along Damaturu-Maiduguri road in Borno State on Saturday morning.

“The terrorists ambushed vehicles conveying commuters near Matari village between Minok to Jakana highway. One of them, Alooma was seized around 8:30am.”

Recalled that Zulum had expressed disappointment when he visited military formation in Jakana last two weeks after one of the abduction that took place, lamenting that majority of the attacks within the last two years, took place between Auno and Jakana, a distance of about 20 kilometers away from Maiduguri, the state capital.
