Boko Haram Attacks Maiduguri

Members of the extremist group, Boko
Haram, have launched a fresh offensive on
Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State,
reports say.
The militants are pushing to enter the town,
sources said.
Residents who were obviously caught
unawares are said to be scrambling home
to safety.
The Hausa service of the BBC reports that
troops from the Nigerian army are
presently engaging the attackers.
The reports say the attackers came through
an area called “Cashew Plantain” which is
behind Gina Barracks, the headquarters of
the 7th Division of Nigerian army.
