On Saturday, troops from Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) repelled an attack on the outskirts of Maiduguri Metropolitan Council by suspected Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, Director of Army Public Relations, said in a statement on Saturday that the terrorists made futile attempts to maintain potency with explosions at Gomari community and 1,000 Housing Estate.<\/p>\n

According to Nwachukwu, the terrorists also fired shots into the communities, causing some damage and apprehension in residential areas.<\/p>\n

He stated that while no lives were lost, a young child was injured during the attack.<\/p>\n

According to him, ground troops<\/a>, in collaboration with the OPHK Air Component, responded quickly and dominated the area with ground and air interdictions that successfully neutralised the terrorists’ threats and infiltration attempt.<\/p>\n

“The general public is urged not to panic, as troops are on the ground and aggressively dominating the city in order to effectively eliminate any perceived threat.”<\/p>\n

“The good people of Maiduguri are equally enjoined to carry on with their normal socioeconomic activities and provide actionable information on the movement of these criminal elements,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
