A four-hour rampage by Boko Haram terrorists in Auno, a sleepy community near Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, on Sunday night left no fewer
The victims consumed by the fire set to their houses and the vehicles inside which they were sleeping by the insurgents who arrived in the village on motorcycles.
A passenger, Haruna Yunusa, said he “counted 21 vehicles, including trailers, some of them still being burnt as at the time I passed through the village this morning.” “They are here but as soon as it is 5 pm, they close the gate and lock the people and go back to Maiduguri. This is not right.” Gen. Adeniyi said: “We normally close the Damaturu Road by 5pm and it is expected that you time your movement very well so that you get to Maiduguri by 5pm because the soldiers cannot leave to fight Boko Haram and come back to protect people sleeping along the road who refuse to obey the law in the first place.
“The students were wearing school uniforms which made it easy for them to be identified. The insurgents are against western education and they abducted them.
