Fierce battle between soldiers and members of the Boko Haram sect has forced residents of Maiduguri to flee the city.
There is massive shootout between soldiers and insurgents. It was gathered that the insurgents are attempting to attack Giwa barrack in the earth of the town but were repelled by military forces who are bombarding both on land and in the air.
There is apprehension in the town. The attack started at about 7:20 and presently still on.
Our Correspondents reports that people are presently scampering for
their lives with parents picking students from schools as a result
of the fight.
It was also gathered that workers are returning home with streets being deserted.
Many residents of the town have fled from the places under attack to
safer places. Some have even fled to the government house for safety.
Some have moved from the periphery of the town that are easily
susceptible to attack to the centre of the town. Soldiers have
barricaded everywhere to make it impossible for the insurgents to move
easily.
