Just yesterday the state experienced three large explosions suspected to be major bomb blasts.
As a result of the attacks, the Army, yesterday imposed a 24-hour curfew following the multiple explosions and gun battle between the Soldiers and the Boko haram insurgents after the terrorists targeted the Giwa Barracks In Maiduguri in an attempt to free their friends.
Unfortunately for them, the Nigerian security agents were prepared for them as it was reportedat least 207 Boko Haram Insurgents who came on a rescue mission were killed by a local vigilante group known as the civilian JTF and many weapons discovered.
The terrorists who decided to retaliate the death of their members regrouped and relaunched another attack on the barracks early this morning, Saturday.
According to an eye witness close to Giwa Barracks who also reside in the area said that the ongoing multiple explosions and sporadic gunshots have forced many residents flee the area.
