“The insurgents mounted a checkpoint on the highway and operated freely for more than two hours.”
The terrorists hunted the military personnel by mounting a roadblock at Kaliyari village near Lantewa, 75 kilometres east of Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, with the rickety army patrol vehicle, which they allegedly snatched in previous attacks.
“After stopping motorists from both ends of the road, they asked for ID cards. The insurgents wanted to know whether commuters and drivers are security agents, civil servants or Christians. While lamenting the incident, he said, “We were coming from Dapchi and I sighted a vehicle painted in military colour. After sighting them, I thought I had entered into the hands of Boko Haram terrorists.
“They were many and they covered a distance of almost one kilometre. “There was a vigilance car that was coming from Damaturu. As they arrived at the place, they opened fire on them, the vehicle went off the road and they followed them into the bush, pursuing them until they caught them.
