The victims were said to have travelled to Damaturu to withdraw their monthly salary since there was no ATM or functional bank in Gujba town due to the scourge called Boko Haram which had paralyzed economic activities.

It could be recalled that Boko Haram attack Gujba local government area months ago, killing students of the College of Agriculture, and that of Federal Government college and since then, the local government has been deserted.
