Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have abducted at least 30 people, including a professor, along the Maiduguri-Damaturu road.
The incident, as reported by Daily Trust, occurred near Kamuya village, where the terrorists ambushed two Volkswagen cars and a Borno Express shuttle bus, abducting all the male passengers.
According to the report, Prof. Abubakar Eljuma, the dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the Nigerian Army University Biu (NAUB), was among those abducted.
He was traveling from Maiduguri to Biu when the incident occurred.
The terrorists freed all the female passengers, leaving the male victims in their custody.
This incident is the latest in a series of attacks and abductions along the Maiduguri-Damaturu road, which has become a hotspot for terrorist activity.
Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
