FLASH| Boko Haram Attacks Convoy in Borno

Boko Haram has attacked a convoy on Saturday. One person was killed.
The convoy was traveling from Monguno to Maiduguri in Nigeria’s Borno state, a distance of about 85 miles, to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid-al-Adha when gunmen opened fire. The driver of one vehicle was killed, and two women and a child in his vehicle were injured.
The convoy included vehicles laden with rams, animals to be used in a ritual sacrifice, which were seized by the insurgents. The incident occurred on a strategic road where Boko Haram carried out attacks on travelers nearly daily, until Nigerian forces closed the road.

BRAKING TIMES
