The convoy of Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum again came under<\/div>\n
\n
\n

attack earlier on Sunday on his way out of Baga.<\/p>\n

Zulum had departed Baga at about 10:30 after a two-day visit to receive
\nindigenes of the town back home after 21 months of exile.<\/p>\n

Few kilometers away from Baga, unknown assailants believed to be Boko
\nHaram opened fire on the escort of the governor.<\/p>\n

The convoy was being escorted out of Baga by the military who replied to
\nthe gunshots and cleared the way for the governor.<\/p>\n

The attack happened barely 48 hours after Borno State Government
\nofficials were ambushed on the same route while traveling to Baga to
\njoin the governor who had flown in via an Air Force chopper.<\/p>\n

Reporters on the ill-fated convoy say sixteen persons were confirmed
\ndead while the whereabouts of an unspecified number of people can still
\nnot be accounted for.<\/p>\n

Members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) working
\nwith the state government\u2019s resettlement committee to clear shrubs from
\nthe road for clearer vision, also reportedly disappeared after the
\nattack.<\/p>\n

Zulum said in an interview in Baga before taking his leave, that he is
\nsaddened by the lives lost during the Friday attack, and pledged to
\nsupport their bereaved families.<\/p>\n

The governor has since arrived Maiduguri, the capital city after
\nsuccessfully performing the resettlement issue that took him to Baga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
