Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has blamed the Nigeria Army for the Sunday night attack by Boko Haram that killed over 30 stranded travelers.

Governor Zulum said this while visiting the scene where Boko Haram gunmen had attacked and massacred many travelers that were stranded outside the military entrance city gate outside Maiduguri, usually locked at 6p.m.

The governor insisted that attack would have been prevented if the military had not withdrawn from Auno town.
