sporadic gunfire that rocked the city of Maiduguri, the Borno state
capital left four residents dead, several others injured and houses
destroyed. Vanguard reports.
The attack, coming barely 12 hours after the inauguration of President
Muhammadu Buhari and other elected state governors, some suspected
terrorists at about 12:30am, Saturday attempted to invade Maiduguri, a
situation that led to exchange of fire between them and troops of the
7 Division of the Nigerian Army.
Sources said, "the terrorists after realising the heavy fire power
from troops, started firing their rocket Launchers into the city,
which led to the killing of a taxi driver, Mallam Bukar around
Borehole area of Gomari airport of Maiduguri metropolis, while the
three other residents died at different locations"
