BY NDAHI MARAMA, MAIDUGURI
The heavy explosions from Rocket Propelled
Launchers and grenade with sporadic gunfire that rocked the city of
Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, left four residents dead, several
others injured and houses destroyed.
The attack, coming barely 12
hours after the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari and other
elected state governors, was carried out by suspected terrorists at
about 12:30am, Saturday in an attempt to invade Maiduguri, a situation
that led to exchange of fire between them and troops of the 7 Division
of the Nigerian Army.
Sources said, “the terrorists after realising
the heavy fire power from troops, started firing their rocket Launchers
into the city, which led to the killing of a taxi driver, Mallam Bukar
around Borehole area of Gomari airport of Maiduguri metropolis, while
the three other residents died at different locations”.
