*UNIMAID speaks on Boko Haram killing 30 persons and students*

The University of Maiduguri, UNIMAID, has reacted to the killing of 30 persons in Auno village in Borno State.

MyNigeria.com reported that Boko Haram insurgents attacked some travellers, kidnapped two, killed 30 persons and burnt 18 vehicles last Sunday.

Describing the incident as heartbreaking, Prof. Danjuma Gambo, Director Radio and Public Relations, University of Maiduguri, condoled with parents and staff of the higher institution.

He said: “It is now confirmed that many precious lives and huge amounts of property were destroyed in the incident.

“Unfortunately, a number of students of the university were lost in it, thereby aggravating the deep pains and sense of grief already inflicted on dear staff, students, parents and other stakeholders.

“This devastating attack is a reminder of our recent colossal losses to the unfolding insurgency despite ongoing efforts to restore peace and stability in Borno State and northeast region.

“It may be recalled that the university management had issued a travel advisory to all staff and students to restrict their movements and exercise vigilance as they go about their legitimate businesses owing to the observed, escalating threats to lives and property in recent times.

“As the university community mourns the painful loss of our dear students, I wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, staff, and students.

“Management will continue to do everything possible to ensure the safety of all staff and students on campus”.
