Am tired of reporting Boko Haram attacks but it seems its currently the only activity in Nigeria.
At least ten civilians were killed in Maiduguri early this
morning as Boko Haram militants attack the city of Maiduguri with Rocket
Propelled Grenades and heavy weapons. Several homes were damaged in the
fierce fight as Nigerian troops working with civilian Joint Task Force
tried to repel the militants.
Residents told Saharareporters that the militants arrived Maiduguri
from three axis, with the largest contingent arriving from Konduga road
while two other column of fighters came from Damboa and Damaturu roads
respectively.
The militants began the attacks as early as 7:20 firing RPGs and
other deadly weapons, Nigerian troops quickly engaged the militants
firing weapons from different parts of the city to repel the attacks. As at the time of publishing this report, a rocket fired by Boko Haram
has killed ten people in a water packaging factory and a nearby
church. Military sources said the battle is still ongoing with
military and local vigilantes chasing militants towards Muina garage
area of Maiduguri.
