Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have attacked Aduwari, a satellite village near Polo area in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.
They reportedly came in three vehicles shelling and shooting at villagers until Sunday evening.
The assailants, who set parts of the village ablaze, also began shooting into Polo area leaving many residents injured.
Residents of Jiddari Polo area are in panic with many fleeing their homes to safer parts of the capital city.
Military authorities in charge of the ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’ are yet to react on the latest attack.
The Army had placed a ban on vehicular movement within the metropolis since Thursday evening until Sunday morning to avert possible attacks during Christmas celebrations.
Counter terrorism operations have continued in the north-east to contain the activities of the terrorist group in line with a directive from President Muhammadu Buhari to the military to end the terrorists’ activities before the end of the year.
