Troops in Maiduguri,
Borno State, ‘mistakenly’ opened fire on the convoy of Governor Kashim
Shettima as it approached a military garrison near the airport.
Shettima was on his way
to visit soldiers, who were wounded in the simultenous Boko
Haram attacks on Maiduguri, Monguno and Kodunga when the incident
occurred on Monday.
Security sources,
according to SaharaReporters, said
the governor’s protocol unit was to blame for the incident as it failed
to notify the military authorities about Shettima’s intention to visit the
military facility on Monday evening.
An aide to the
governor was quoted by the online news portal as having said that
the governor, who was unharmed in the encounter, returned to his office
unruffled.
