from what we heard from one of the survivors that ran into the bush, Boko Haram members waylaid them at the gate of College of Agriculture Gujba, initially they thought they were soldiers because they are putting on soldiers trousers but it dawn on them when they were stopped and order out of the vehicles and asked to lay down on the road before they were robbed.
