Maiduguri is under yet another attack. This is coming after the
state was yesterday, attacked by the Boko Haram terrorists.
There has been yet another multiple explosions and gunshots this
morning, Saturday at about 8:15am at the general area of the
barracks.
Just yesterday the state experienced three large explosions
suspected to be major bomb blasts.
As a result of the attacks, the Army, yesterday imposed a 24-
hour curfew following the multiple explosions and gun battle between
the Soldiers and the Boko haram insurgents after the terrorists
targeted the Giwa Barracks In Maiduguri in an attempt to free
their friends.
Unfortunately for them, the Nigerian security agents were prepared
for them as it was reported at least 207 Boko Haram Insurgents
who came on a rescue mission were killed by a local vigilante
group known as the civilian JTF and many weapons discovered.
The terrorists who decided to retaliate the death of their members
regrouped and relaunched another attack on the barracks early this
morning, Saturday.
According to an eye witness close to Giwa Barracks who also reside
in the area said that the ongoing multiple explosions and sporadic
gunshots have forced many residents flee the area.
The Nigeria Military has since shut down telephone lines in
Borno as they continue to raid the camps of the Boko haram
terrorist.
