Senator Zannah Ahmed, representing Borno Central, on Friday accused the military of complicity in Thursday attack on part of troubled Borno State where he claimed that 210 people were killed in attacks on four towns.
The towns which were attacked included Dikwa, Kala Balge, Gambulga and Gwoza.
The senator claimed that the attackers were all dressed in military uniforms and spoke English language unlike the usual Boko Haram insurgents who spoke Hausa and Kanuri language.
He even lamented that authorities of the military post in Gamboru, which purportedly received a distressed call from the people of Kala Balge avoided the town, claiming that it was not in its area of command.
Among victims of this attack, were scores of students travelling to write the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in Borno, who were riding in 8 cars when they ran into the ambush of the attackers.
