Boko Haram, the newly designated violent Islamic terrorist by the USA, in the early hour on Monday, around 3am attacked the Maiduguri International Airport and the Composite Group
Air Force Base in Maiduguri,and killed about 20 military men.
The group also attacked a newly constructed
trailer park and residential buildings in the Borno State capital.
The militants were said to have planted and
detonated multiple Improvised Explosive Devices around the targets.
The sect members were said to have attacked the
residential areas not far from the Air Force Base, which forced the military men
to come out of the cantonment, giving another group of the suspected terrorists
the opportunity to attack the base and other vulnerable targets.
The insurgents were said to have planted IEDs at
strategic parts of the airport, which they exploded in the facility said to have
been under heavy security protection. (Punch Newspaper)
