[img][/img] Residents of Damaturu, the Yobe state capital, have reported what they believed to have been a gun battle between security forces and members of the Boko Haram, which lasted for over 5 hours on sunday night.

The relative peace currently being enjoyed in Damaturu the Yobe state capital suffered a setback as sound of gunshots were heard throughout the night.

Sporadic gunshot were heard within the Damaturu metropolis from 9pm and lasted over 5 hours.

Although an official statement is still being expected from either the Joint Task Force (JTF) or the police on the cause of the gunshot, residents believed it was a clash between security forces and the radical islamic sect: the boko haram.

Yobe state government had 4 days ago reviewed the restriction of movement from 9pm to 6am in Damaturu, while curfew in other towns remained from 6pm to 6am daily.

The last time gunshot were heard in Damaturu was 9 months ago when a field commander of the radical sect: Bakaka was killed in a gun duel with JTF at khandahar area of Damaturu.
