Boko Haram members, attacked a wedding convoy in Nigeria’s northeastern state of Borno, on the notorious Bama-Banki road when the wedding revellers, including friends and relatives of the groom, were returning to the state capital Maiduguri after the ceremony in Michika, in nearby Adamawa State killing more than 30 people including the groom on Saturday 2nd November, 2013.
According to an eyewitness, a friend of the groom, 36-year-old Japhet haruna, he said:
“I wonder how I and few other people survived the onslaught because it was well coordinated. I was in the fifth vehicle in the convoy and when I realised that the attackers were out to kill, I ran into the bush, I believe it is God that saved me and (a) few others from their bullets. They targeted everybody in the convoy — Muslims, Christians and children."
A driver, Kyari Buba said, “It was a gory scene,” adding that he had seen more than 30 dead bodies on the side of the road following the attack. In his words he said, “I was in the middle of the convoy when the gunmen attacked and I was able to stop the vehicle in time to open the door and run into the bush along with the people I was with...When we returned long after the gunmen were gone we met a gory scene with more than 30 people shot dead or slaughtered all the victims were brutally murdered by the attackers!”
