Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State has escaped death by whiskers.

The governor’s convoy was ambushed by suspected Boko Haram insurgents at about 6:30pm between Bama and Konduga Local Government Areas in the northeast region.

Insiders said; “They could not get the governor. It was the last police vehicle that was attacked after the governor passed. But we dealt with them and dispersed and cleared the road before joining the convoy in Konduga.”

“The governor decided to visit the Southern Borno area to check on some of the ongoing projects to ensure their completion and to be able to present something to the good people of Borno State in his 100 days in office.”

“So, we went round to some of the local government and on our way coming, we left Bama and heading to Konduga when the Boko Haram tried to stop us.”
