Curfew in Bauchi after Boko Haram
fighting
Kano - An indefinite lock-down was ordered on
three areas in northeast Nigeria on Sunday after
troops battled scores of Boko Haram fighters
outside the Bauchi state capital, Bauchi city, the
authorities said.
Soldiers supported by two fighter jets
intercepted the militants who were in 20 pick-up
trucks at Dungulbe village, seven kilometres (four
miles) from the city, and engaged them in fierce
fighting.

"The fighter jets are pounding the enemy
position while ground troops are engaging them,"
said a military officer in the city, who asked not
to be identified, in an account supported by
residents.
"The operation is still ongoing but the terrorists
have suffered serious losses and are in disarray,"
the officer added.
The fighting took place as Nigeria held a second
day of voting in its general election after
technology failures hampered polling on
Saturday.
A spokesman for the Bauchi state governor said
an indefinite, round-the-clock curfew had been
imposed on three areas because of the fighting.
"The state government has put a 24-hour curfew
in Bauchi, Kirfi and Alkaleri local governments as
a result of the security breach by Boko Haram,"
Danlami Baban-Takko said.
"The curfew was imposed indefinitely... to enable
security agencies to restore normalcy in the
affected areas.
"By this curfew, residents of the three affected
local governments are to remain in their homes
until further notice."
The main opposition All Progressives Congress
(APC) candidate for the Bauchi state
governorship, Mohammed Abullahi Abubakar,
however, blamed the curfew on his political
opponents.
"The curfew was only an attempt by the PDP
(Peoples Democratic Party) to tinker with the
results of the elections
