The convoy of the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Wednesday escaped an attack from Boko Haram insurgents in Baga town.
Governor Zulum had departed Maiduguri, the state capital on Monday afternoon for the northern part of the state in continuation of the food distribution programme which he started earlier in July.
He was reported unhurt and he is currently back to Monguno to continue his distribution of relief materials to the Internally Displaced Persons.
During his last tour to Northern Borno, military bomb sweepers discovered and detonated landmines laced on the governor’s path ahead of his arrival.
It is not clear if the landmines were targeted at the governor as the military said it was a reoccurring trend, impeding on operational mobility.
However, Boko Haram insurgents have been confirmed the prime suspects for the attack.
