Maiduguri Attacked A Second Time Today

Boko Haram insurgents have attacked Njimtilo area
for the second time today, the small village near
Borno State Capital, Maiduguri.
Sahara Reporters are stating that the first suicide
attack which occurred at the earlier hours of the
day, was meant to drive the military away leaving
the area vulnerable for a new Boko Haram
offensive.
Boko Haram are said to have returned to Njimtilo
in the early evening with machine guns and other
unknown weapons, murdering residents.
As of the time of this publication, we are yet to
ascertain the number of casualties.
Earlier today, a suicide bomber had attacked the
main checkpoint of the town.
A police officer close to the scene told reporters
“The blast occurred at 12:30pm at the Njimtilo
checkpoint; no one was reported dead but some
Civilian-JTF members were injured”.
