Gunmen attack Wedding Convoy, 30 killed in Borno
About 30 members of a wedding party have been confirmed dead after gunmen suspected to be members of
Boko haram ambushed them on a rural road in Borno State in north-eastern Nigeria, according to multiple
media reports.
The wedding convoy reported to be returning to state capital Maiduguri from the neighboring district along the
mountainous Bama-Banki highway, which has become notorious for frequent attacks by Boko Haram, when
attackers opened fire.
Eyewitnesses told local media that the groom, identified by his wedding robes, was among the dead and bodies
with gunshot and knife wounds were scattered across the road.
