Six people have been reported dead in Maiduguri, after an attack by suspected Boko Haram militants.
This is coming a day after President Goodluck Jonathan lifted a state
of emergency in several regions, the military said on Friday.
President Jonathan on Wednesday rescinded a state of emergency in
several local government areas, including in Borno, ahead of the holy
Islamic month of Ramadan, which is observed by most of Nigeria’s
estimated 80 million Muslims.
Joint Task Force (JTF) reported that two people were killed on
Thursday during a gunfight between suspected Boko Haram members in
Maiduguri, before gunmen killed four people at a nearby market.
“My men were patrolling around the market after it closed,” Police
Commissioner Bala Hassan said after confirming the death toll from the
attacks.
