n a report by Premium Times, Sabo Muhammad, a commercial driver, said that he was the one who called the soldiers, but before they could reach the location, the terrorists had set the vehicles on fire. The driver said this after terrorists ambushed motorists on the Jibia-Batsari road in Katsina State.
Muhammad, who narrowly escaped the attack, described how terrorists ambushed vehicles traveling along the route, unleashing a barrage of gunfire that left vehicles ablaze and motorists stranded in a harrowing scene of destruction.
According to Bro. Sabo Muhammad, who was lucky to escape
“Whenever we are returning from Jibia, once we reach the gate (checkpoint), we know that we have reached safety because there are always soldiers and vigilante members there. The first vehicle was a J5 Peugeot, while I was driving behind him. The terrorists opened fire on the J5, and it veered off the road
. I was lucky enough to avoid the bullets and tried overtaking the second group, but they shot my tire, which forced me to stop. I was the one who called the soldiers, but before the soldiers and vigilantes came, the terrorists had set the vehicles on fire
. They checked those they shot to ensure they were all dead. I watched from where we hid while my car and the others went up in flames.”
