The slain security personnel explained that they were on a trip from Maiduguri to Monguno when they were ambushed and abducted by the insurgents whom they described as “Tilafa army”.

“I am 13NA/70/8374 Lance Corporal Emmanuel Oscar, I was captured by Tilafa along Maiduguri to Monguno,” the soldier said.

On his part, the policeman, who spoke in Hausa language said “My name is Yohanah Kilus, I am a policeman, my rank is Inspector.

“I was abducted between Maiduguri and Monguno; I am presently in the custody of Tilafa soldiers,” he said before two gunmen shot him and the captured soldier at close range.
