Security Threat
Students of University of Maiduguri, others flee as Boko Haram, Soldiers engage in intense battle
Hundreds of residents fled their homes Thursday night amid intense gun battle between suspected Boko Haram insurgents and troops at Dalori IDP camp in Maiduguri, Borno state.
The gun duel intensifies as Nigerian Airforce choppers hover over the University of Maiduguri and Dalori general areas.
Some undergraduate students told Daily Trust that they are under serious attacks, just as loud gunfire was heard near the campus.
“Everyone is crying because the gun shots are unbearable,” a female undergraduate who craved anonymity said.
Another student claimed that for 10 minutes, Airforce jets were hovering over their hostels.
Bukar Hassan, a resident of Dalori told our correspondent that hundreds of residents are running for their lives.
“The insurgents attacked Dalori IDP and there was deafening gunfire everywhere; IDPs are running toward Tashan Bama area,” he told Daily Trust.

How can people praise this government on Security. Borno, Yobe Adamawa know no peace since inception of insurgency till date, Relatively peaceful places like Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto The whole North west is in the hand of bandits North central is no go area. Where is the achievements in Security. The most annoying is denial by government, or labeling anybody that talk true as unpatriotic. Who is unpatriotic?
