RESIDENTS UNSAVED!!

Hundreds of resi­dents fled their homes yester­day, as heavy shooting was heard near Maiduguri, Borno State capital.
A military source told Daily Sun that some insur­gents, who fled Sambisa For­est, a notorious Boko Haram camp, due to sustain bom­bardment by the military, launched sporadic shooting at about 6.30p.m.

The Nigerian troops have put the insurgents on the run, as air and ground assaults on their major hideout contin­ued.
It was gathered that some of the insurgents, who fled the onslaught, fired several shots in an attempt to enter the city yesterday through the cashew plantation behind the Giwa Army Barracks..

Boko Haram insurgents had attacked the barracks in early 2013 through the same route that also leads to Borno central town of Konduga, about 15 kilometres to Sam­bisa.
Many residents of the GRA in Maiduguri said they fled their houses as the shoot­ing raged till darkness envel­oped the capital city.
