Sources told Journalists that the operation was carried out in the evening.

They said the terrorists in military fatigues blocked the highway and picked their victims based on their identity cards.

“On Friday evening, along Maiduguri/Damaturu Road, Boko Haram fighters blocked the highway for hours, searching for military personnel who usually travelled with commercial vehicles.
