Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - Several "huge" explosions were
heard on Friday night as Nigerian troops engaged Boko
Haram fighters in a village outside the restive city of
Maiduguri, a civilian vigilante said.
"Hordes of Boko Haram gunmen are currently locked in
fierce battle with Nigerian troops in Zabarmari village,
10 kilometres (six miles) outside Maiduguri," vigilante
Danlami Ajaokuta told AFP.

"We have been hearing huge explosions coming from
Zabarmari since 8:00 pm (1900 GMT) as troops fought
to push back Boko Haram gunmen who are trying to
invade the city," he said.
"There have so far been more than 10 explosions," he
said, adding that frightened residents of Zabarmari had
fled to Maiduguri.
He said civilian vigilante fighters who have been
assisting the military to battle the insurgents were "on
alert and ready for any eventuality."
Zanna Shehuri, a Maiduguri resident, told AFP the
Islamists were not finding it easy to enter the city.
"The city is tense following news that Boko Haram are
now in Zabarmari trying to come into Maiduguri but
are are facing stiff resistance from soldiers," he said.
"From here we can hear explosions coming from the
direction of Zabarmari. I spoke to my cousin who lives
there on the phone and he told me he and his family
are on their way to Maiduguri. He said everybody was
fleeing the village," he said.
The latest incident follows a wave of attacks by Boko
Haram militants since Wednesday that have claimed
some 200 lives in killings which President Muhammadu
Buhari on Friday described as "inhuman and barbaric

Ok

Am sure Mr President is reading this news too on nairaland with no solution to our security problem, confuse presido

"And They shall Fight Against Thee, BUT THEY SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THEE; For I Am with Thee, Saith the LORD, to deliver thee."

Jeremiah 1:19

GODSPEED COMRADES.

Just respecting the present Gov based on its infantile stage.

Since the Ex-Presido left, there have been virtually no fire fight with these scumbags and their technicals. The tempo of "silent strike", "unrelentless pursuit" we had during the 6 weeks extension that degraded and wrestled-out power from BH hasn't been sustained.

DSS and NPF, you guys need to up your games. Your ELINT and especially HUMINT should be activated and active by now.

Nigerian Military, Nigerians are Solidly covering your back.

Aluta continua, Victoria aserta

In six months time,Nigerians will begin to sing gej's praise and buhari will wish he was never born. The way he went about bragging that he will stop BH,made people vote for him,now I think BH wants to stop him oh.

God bless Mr President God bless Nigeria Army

Buhari should bring out his magic wand fast, he said he'll wipe out Boko Haram in two months, we are already in the second month and these Boko boys all seem to be waxing stronger.
