Gunshots are sounding in Maiduguri Sunday
morning as soldiers and Boko Haram
terrorists engage in battle over the control of
Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
A soldier on the frontline told a Continental
News reporter that the insurgents had
moved to invade Maiduguri town through a
suburb community called Dalwa.
“It is the Boko Haram terrorists we are
battling with now as you can hear. They
wanted to enter through Dalwa. But we are
tackling them”.
The attack is coming a week after the
insurgents launched simultaneous attacks
on three key Borno towns — Maiduguri,
Konguda and Munguno.
That three-pronged attack by the Boko
Haram sect is one of the most daring in
recent times as the insurgents, who already
control a large part of Borno State, tighten
the noose on Maiduguri.
The assault on Maiduguri and neighbouring
Konduga by the insurgents were however
successfully repelled by soldiers while the
troops securing Monguno could not stop
the militants from seizing the town as they
had to retreat from there after the Brigade’s
commander and other soldiers were
wounded in battle.
More to come….
