As Nigeria's General Elections draws nearer, infact its presidential election is 2 weeks from now... exactly on valentines day ( February 14th, 2015). However the dreaded terrorist group Boko Haram is still striking, killing, injuring and displacing civilians in the North-Eastern region of Nigeria.
They striked again today (1/02/2015) in Maiduguri, Northeastern Nigeria.
Reports indicates that Gunshots are sounding in Maiduguri Sunday morning as soldiers and Boko Haram terrorists engage in battle over the control of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
A soldier on the frontline told a PREMIUM TIMES reporter that the insurgents had moved to invade Maiduguri town through a suburb community called Dalwa.
“It is the Boko Haram terrorists we are battling with now as you can hear. They wanted to enter through Dalwa. But we are tackling them”.
The attack is coming a week after the insurgents launched simultaneous attacks on three key Borno towns — Maiduguri, Konguda and Munguno.
That three-pronged attack by the Boko Haram sect is one of the most daring in recent times as the insurgents, who already control a large part of Borno State, tighten the noose on Maiduguri.
The assault on Maiduguri and neighbouring Konduga by the insurgents were however successfully repelled by soldiers while the troops securing Monguno could not stop the militants from seizing the town as they had to retreat from there after the Brigade’s commander and other soldiers were wounded in battle.
Which way Nigeria?
