Two business vehicles were likewise captured by the psychological oppressors and crashed into the Sambisa woods territory in the assault which occurred at around 11am.
A witness, Dauda Pambe, explained to Premium Times that he was among the explorers being escorted by troopers from Maiduguri to Biu on Saturday morning when the shooters propelled the trap assault.
"We were somewhere close to Bulabulin and DogonWaya towns when the Boko Haram shooters opened fire on the vehicles in front of us in the escort", said Mr. Pambe.

"We were somewhere between Bulabulin and DogonWaya villages when the Boko Haram gunmen opened fire on the vehicles ahead of us in the convoy. The first vehicle was hit on the tire and the driver could not proceed so the passengers alighted and fled into the bush; the second vehicle was a pickup van carrying many passengers, and many of them could not escape.They exchanged fire for sometime as many of us remained in the vehicles ducking to avoid being hit with bullet. When the shooting stopped and the Boko Haram fighters left, we had about seven passengers that were killed and some soldiers too were injured", the witness said.
The groups of the casualties have been stored at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital mortuary. One of the casualties has been distinguished as Usman, a 200 level Business Education understudy of the University of Maiduguri understudy. He was headed home for a one week get-away after the third semester examination.
