“Since my inauguration as the governor of Borno State from May 29th to date, Auno town has been attacked for about six times now. And the reason is that the military has withdrawn from Auno town.

A troop’s commander who was with the governor during his visit to the scene of the attacked tried to argue that soldiers were on ground in Auno, but the governor rebuffed him that “no you were not here.”“There were no soldiers here; they have all withdrawn. We are not being confrontational or undermining the capacity of the Nigerian military, but the fact is that we have made several attempts for the Nigeria military to establish their unit in Auno but nothing was done.

“This is sad because the Borno State University is not more than 8km from here; which means this is an attack on Maiduguri town. So if you cannot protect Maiduguri, then what happens to the rest of us in the city?“Kindly move your soldiers here at the entrance gate of Maiduguri back ahead of Auno. This gate is a major problem for us; remove it and take it backward.”

“They came and packed their motorcycles in Auno village and attacked vehicles of transporters, not people of Auno, but vehicles of transporters that were parked in the village. Let me express my profound sadness at this Boko Haram attack. It is disturbing; it is wicked and I pray such would not happen again.”

Gominor ask Buhari and Buratai why they are recycling terrorism.

If it was a Southern Governor that said this, they would have summoned him to the villa. I went from PH to Aba today, on road. I can authoritatively tell you the security agencies from the military to the police are just doing business by collecting money from commercial vehicle.

They are in Umuahia Planning on how to Kidnap the Dead bodies of MNK's Parents and Massacre Peaceful Civilians that I'll attend the Burial.... Shameless Military Personnel's

Bokoharam will not be ended by the government, it's obvious. The people must rise in their thousands and face the bad eggs. The killers rose from their midsts. They are their people, they know them more than anyone. When the people say 'enough', it would be 'enough'.

There's more to this incessant killings from between BH and HQNigerianArmy and their sponsors

JajaPhD Where is the lie?

This is a total negligence by those drivers.they have been adviced to stay back at Damaturu once its evening. Auno has been a very dangerous place and everyone that plies that road knows..May the souls of the departed rest in peace

It baffles that he is the 3rd Governor of Borno State since the inception of Boko Haram, yet they don't seem to have any idea about the Sponsors of This dreaded Blood thirsty Vampires. It doesn't make sense.

God save us with boko Haram oo this is too much

Reports has it that over 30 peoples lost their lives while military claimed a lost of 10 people, whichever the case may be, government should know that even 1 person life is matter

ProfZulum has every right to be furious, he reported that HQNigerianArmy officers were collecting 1000 naira from travellers when they were supposed to do their jobs.

This attack is a slap on the face of the HQNigerianArmy top commanders who recently boasted that they have chased Boko Haram terrorists out of Nigerian territory. Any self defense or excuses given by the army spokesman is lack of shame.

The soldiers are responsible, the service chief should be held responsible for the deaths of 30 people.

Many of us blaming foreign countries on BH issue But what efforts did we do as a country to end it?

frediecruze That Kanye West's song 'Blame Game' should be playing in the ground before you click this to read.

Yet he released 1400 repentant ones

The military intentionally abandoned them

Is It that this snake doesnt have a head that can be cut off?

And one loquacious hobo told us these criminals are technically defeated.

This Stupid government will still tell us that Boko Haram has be technically defeated. Just 5 kilometers to maiduguri and they will tell us that Boko Haram are attacking soft spots,is 5 kilometers to the capital soft spot? Stupid people in government.

After paying through your nose to send a child to school, pay for basic needs without govt input, then you lose the child at university level. Why do we still have a govt in Nig without responsibility? maiduguri30 There's no govt in Nigeria

maiduguri30 this govt has no plan to tackle insecurities. Party continues one minute after tragedy. Death of citizens is now a normal occurrence.

Their action suggest aiding and abetting terrorism and as usual nobody will take responsibility for such dereliction of duty. Neither CinC nor the COAS will do anything other than lame condolence statement.

The truth about BH is yet to be answered by those fighting it, the people living with them and the money bags in that axis sponsoring dem,cos u can't tell me that they can buy sophisticated weapons like wat they have now

Blame your principal for retaining service chiefs

If not this sincere governor, they won't let us know the severity of the attack.They have downplayed and told us 4 or 5 travellers we're killed just to give a fake impression that they are in charge.Or even arrest the journalists who would report objectively.

And yet ,we are hearing every now and then that BH is defeated.This is happening right inside Maiduguri town.

Ya Allah bring an end to this astonishing Drama

Truth nor go kill you able governor. The man who care about his people. The military knows exactly whats happening in those areas. They have created business out of this innocent Blood been slayed and dey don't care.

There's a long way to go on the menace of boko haram

What is wrong with our security architecture?

MBuhari

Kudos to Gov. Fayose who never relied on the failed federal government for security

BH is doing so much damage to Northern Nigeria. My question is what is it they wants? You can't just be killing people like that. If it is Shari'a they want let's sit on a round table, discuss it and give them what they want. Are we not tired of the bloodbath?

follobackforfolloback

Until the foreign countries,military contractors,food suppliers,humanitarian agencies & NGOs all inclusive,who have become billionaires & profited as a result of this war decided they have made enough gains from the war,I doubt if this insurgent war will ever come to an end soon

Governor try and be on same page with the Armed forces. Advising your people not to undertake night travels better done by your government.

I wouldn't support this public condemnation and blame on the military

Toh! We know this one tey tey saboteurs ne.

God have mercy on us. Too much conspiracy that I don't understand. From where and where bokko Haram are coming?. I thought our soldiers are to go and search for b/haram hide out not to wait them to attack

Very soon this government will come out with another propaganda saying boko haram has been rendered handicap

But army officers died too na?

Affirmative, Bcoz we have the military but they are dormant, The soldiers around that area have no difference with the soul that had already dead

Boko Haram Insurgency Is not going to end anytime soon

Sometimes i wonder if all the leaders of this country are like this man.
