Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, was thrown into confusion on Wednesday evening as suspected Boko Haram members launched an attack on the city few hours after President Muhammadu Buhari visited.
At about 7 p.m., residents of Jiddari Polo, on the outskirts of Maiduguri, began to flee into the city centre through Polo and Damboa road as the terrorists attacked.The shooting continued as the insurgents set some houses ablaze. Ba’Bulama Jiddari, a leader of a vigilante group in the area, told PREMIUM TIMES on the phone that “we were under attack. But we have been able to repel with the help of soldiers who later arrived.”
“It was not a bomb blast but a serious attack. A house has been completely burnt down. We are still here trying to see if there is any casualty.” Rebbeca Musa who lives close to the location under attack said, “I have not seen this kind of shooting in a long time. Shells of bullets were dripping on top of my house roof and inside the compound.”A member of the Civilian-JTF, who asked not to be named, said the insurgents came through an entrance that was once manned by soldiers.Details later…
Its no surprise at all
Shouldn't it be known now who the sponsor of boko haram are? Plsss Even the President can't control his dogs again .... An evil thats gonna hunt him forever
Fake news
They came to greet their uncle.
Attack and gun shots. Any difference? The result is all death. Security is zero.
Ya Salam
This really hurts me
Buzillion all hail Buhari
With heavy operation
This is another sponsored propaganda...the news reporting has been exaggerated. There was no attack, just a few gun shots into the air. All these PDP propagandists will not succeed. Maiduguri and indeed all of Borno state love Buhari. Una must get sense by force! Sai baba!
Whose visit is more felt now? When we make our choices we should always remember the aftermath in the near future, election has come and gone and here we are Borno. So sad.
After he left huh. Why didn't they attack when he was there?
This shows if MBuhari had wasted further time, they could have captured him too.
At this rate, if Buhari is a reasonable man (which most of us dont think he is) there are only two options available 1. Make drastic decisions/changes 2. Resign (admit your incompetence)
Next level!
Fake news merchants!
