had repeatedly appealed to the military to establish their unit in Auno owing to the continuous attacks by insurgents.According to him, it is painful to keep calling for such support and nothing is being done.
However, while reacting to allegations following the attack on Sunday, which claimed many lives in Auno along the dreaded Maiduguri – Damaturu road, the Garison Commander, 7 Division Nigeria Army, Brig. Gen. Sunday Igbinomwanhia, said that soldiers do not close the Auno gate along the Maiduguri – Damaturu roads and withdraw to Maiduguri to sleep.
Earlier, the theatre Commander Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj. Gen. Olusegun Adeniyi, told journalists that only ten people were killed in the incident contrary to what travellers and villagers informed the Borno state governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum during his visit at the scene of the attack. But, while speaking to newsmen, the Theatre Commander said, he had no knowledge of military vehicle plying that road at that unholy hour. ” I do not know about military vehicle moving along that road at that time,” he said.
