More troops are been redeployed to all nooks and crannies of Maiduguri |
Terror was unleashed on Maiduguri, Borno State capital today. Fighters
from the Islamist sect Boko Haram attempted to bomb and take over a
major military base known as "Giwa barracks" in Maiduguri. Fortunately,
Nigerian soldiers were able to foil their attempt which has been
described as attempt by pockets of terrorists to free detained Boko
Haram members.
Director of Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade said:
“ Pockets of terrorists apparently in a move to boost their depleted
stock of fighters this morning attacked a military location in Maiduguri
with a view to freeing their colleagues who are being held in
detention. The attack has been successfully repelled with heavy human
casualty on the terrorists. Some of the victims of the terrorists’ fired
in their efforts to break into the detention facility, included those
they came to rescue. Many of the terrorists and their weapons have been
captured. Four soldiers were wounded and are being treated. Hot pursuits
by land and air operations are ongoing along with cordon and search of
surrounding localities.”
The Defence Headquarters believes “this terrorists attempt is in
response to the intensity of attacks on their strongholds in camps at
Talala, Monguzum, Sambisa forests, Gwoza, Mandara mountains as well as
the general area of Lake Chad. The camps have been destroyed and many
insurgents killed
The insurgents also attacked the University of Maiduguri today. Here are some pictures from the mayhem today.
