Four persons were killed on Sunday and three others injured when suspected members of the Boko Haram sect laid siege to a road in a remote part of Damboa local government, Borno State.

A member of the youth vigilante group, Civilian JTF, who spoke to journalists in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, said that the insurgents ambushed motorists on the road, killed four of them, injured three others and abducted two men who have been taken to an unknown location.

Information from the Biu General Hospital indicate that the three injured persons had sustained gunshot wounds and had been taken there in critical condition.
