The insurgents arrived Molai road on vehicles and opened fire at motorists queuing for petrol.
One of the witnesses said: “They attacked a beer parlor deep down Polo area that by proxy is closer to Jiddari and Molai… Istifanus was some chap we know, went to shack a couple of bottles as per holidays…. Now he’s dead.”
While details are still sketchy Sahara Reporters says that the terrorists killed at least 35 people, while 50 others were injured.

The attack comes just days after Buhari said Nigeria has “technically” defeated the Boko Haram sect.
Nigerian soldiers have won back territory from the insurgents, but several attacks launched by the insurgents within the space of three days have called into question the president’s claim.
Attacking across bicycles, Boko Haram stormed Kimba village in Borno state on Christmas Day evening, killing at least 14 locals and setting on fire their homes.
Since losing most of the territory the sect captured earlier this year to the military, Boko Haram resorted to hitting soft targets such as markets, bus stations and places of worship, as well as hit-and-run attacks on villages, mainly in Borno state
