Maiduguri – Nigerian troops on Monday repelled an attack by suspected Boko Haram insurgents at a security check point few kilometres away from Maiduguri.

It was gathered that the incident occurred at about 5: 30 PM, at Moloi area, on outskirts of Maiduguri.



The insurgents were said to have torched some houses and vandalized vehicles on Maiduguri-Damboa-Biu Road.


An eye witness, Aji Maina, said that the insurgents attacked and shot sporadically, a situation which made the villagers to scamper for safety and fled their homes.

Maina said that the residents of Moloi and adjourning villages had to run into Polo and other areas of Maiduguri for safety.

He, however, said that soldiers deployed to the area engaged the insurgents and repelled the attack.


“The insurgents attacked the ED security section, torched houses and motorists caught in the cross fire.

“At present, no one can ascertain the extent of damages or casualties in the attack.

“Many people fled their homes and scampered for safety into Maiduguri,” he said.

However, that security had been beefed up in the metropolis to thwart any breach of peace while people were going about their normal activities.


The Police and military authorities are yet to comment on the incident. (NAN)

chai! no hope on this APC government again...lives and properties are destroying daily...fuel scarcity everywhere...prices of goods and services hike...

This is so unfortunate that when we are celebrating Christmas, the soldiers are putting their lives in line to ensure we have a seamless celebration.

They gave their nights so we could sleep.
They gave their lives that we may live comfortably.
They deserve our respect.

This Boko Haram people no dey finish?

am still wondering why buhari needs the niger delta resources to fight what has been technically defeated.

The north-east is under siege, Boko-haram and the Fula-militias have teamed up against the citizens.
Cameroun and the UN should please come to our aid...

i have said it b4 n will continue to say it, apc is an islamic jihad party (forget the useless pastor possing as vp) their mission is to use bh n fulani terrorist to conquer the entire north. see taraba where the local fought back, buhari sent fighter jet to level them. and d idiot stooge of a vp kept mum.

Again?

God help our security agents

this north attack is becoming national anthem... well zoo love it... because thy are not complaining.. sai babá!!

So none of the villagers was recorded dead as of the time of the shooting..

See how the monster Buhari and his cohorts created keep tormenting us daily without any sign of peace or an end to this senseless killing by these Jihadists.

God save us all.

Lord Lugard will never rest in peace to have joined us together therefore making me sharing same country with these cows in human skin

And they have been technically defeated.....useless government

Boko Haram: A northern creation to destabilize a southern government. But is now consuming northerners and destabilizing the government of the creators. Poetic justice indeed.
