The Boko Haram attacks in several parts of the North east state of Borno seems to have intensified with another major assault on an army barrack today.
Three loud explosions and heavy gunfights were said to have been heard emanating from the barracks popularly known as Giwa Barracks right in the heart of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
It is not clear the casualty figure of this recent attack – if there are any – but reports say members of the militant Islamic sect continue to lay siege on the barrack with soldiers wearing bulletproof vests getting in positions to repel the attack.
The location of the assault is in relatively close proximity from the State Government House. Gunfight is said to be intense in the area.
