Four soldiers and two policemen have been abducted by Boko Haram insurgents along Damaturu-Maiduguri road in Yobe state.
The insurgents, according to sources who spoke with theCable, attacked the security officers in an ambush near Auno village on Damaturu-Maiduguri road.
They were said to have appeared in military uniforms and mounted a roadblock on the highway with three Hilux vans before taking away the hostages who were returning from a short break.
“Four military men were abducted in an 18 seater bus while two other policemen were abducted in a Gulf car,” one of the sources said.
