Fear gripped residents of Maiduguri overnight on Saturday as the Boko Haram sect engaged the military in a fight to finish in different parts of the Borno State
A policeman was also killed in another attack on Sunday afternoon at a checkpoint, prompting many residents to stay in-doors. The shooting started at about 8.30p.m around the Shehuri North-Custom area, in which the former enclave of the Boko Haram sect was located.
The gun battle lasted about two hours and continued in the early hours of Sunday. It was gathered that the trouble began when some gunmen opened fire on an army patrol vehicle around the area. A resident who lives in the area told Daily Sun on phone on Saturday night that he could not sleep because of the repeated shootings.
