The gunmen reportedly travelled from Damboa to the outskirts of Maiduguri before they began the attack near Molai village.Residents of the community said the attack started at about 6.30 p.m. when Muslims were about to break their fast.“They were in large number driving in more than a dozen vehicles. No one suspected that they were Boko Haram until they were about entering into Maiduguri. I wonder where the soldiers were when such a large number of gunmen invaded their convoy.
“Suddenly we saw one of the vehicles pull out in full speed and ram into a military escort van and a bomb went off. “From then on, the other gunmen who embedded in the different parts of the convoy started shooting at the passengers as everyone scampered into safety. “The gunmen made their way to Molai where they continued to shoot while setting houses and vehicles on fire, ” Mr Aji said.The source, who is an official of the local vigilante in that area, said many people may have been killed in the attack.
“From the way they attacked using car bomb, there is no doubt there would many casualties,” said Mr Aji.The army is yet to speak on the attack.
