The Nigerian troops have repelled an attempt by Boko Haram Terrorists to overrun Dalori internally displaced persons (IDP) Camp in Maiduguri on Thursday night, security sources said to SaharaReporters.

A reliable source noted that hundreds of the IDPs had fled in Dalori axis Maiduguri city in fear of the attack.

SaharaReporters gathered an unspecified number of persons including soldiers might have been killed with Boko Haram insurgents losing its members too.

The source said, "The invaders came at about 2045hrs along with suicide bombers and thereafter, there were heavy gunshots.

"After about an hour that the gun battle has subsided, hundreds of the IDPs from Bama council could not be found as it appeared they fled their tents to avoid being killed."

The security personnel are evaluating the damage incurred including loss of lives.

President Buhari sympathy for Boko Haram is giving them the audacity to attack, Buhari still believe they can repent.
The unfortunate part is that Southerners in the Armed forces are been drafted to confront them.

next level attack am tired of typing R.I.P everyday that's what they voted for because am sure bullhari won in all idp camps in the north west

I always ask these questions.. where did they come from? Did they fly? Where did they retreat to?? Are they invisible?? Why can't our soldiers follow these guys and waste them?? So if they retreat, that's where it ends?? How do they form formations for there attacks?? Shey they'll pass roads, communities and people with there gun trucks?? And it seems like nobody knows where they come from or go to.

This country is a failed state

Keep repelling, when is this shameless government going to take the battle to this wicked enemy and deliver our generation from extermination and annihilation?
