For the second time in two nights, a Boko Haram suicide bomber attacked a residential area in the Jidarri Polo axis of Maiduguri, capital of Borno state.
Baa-na Shetimma, a resident, told TheCable on Friday night that the attack, which happened around 9 pm sparked tension in the town
“There are dead bodies in front of my house as I speak to you,” Shetima told the online publication.
Shetimma said he was about opening his car to drive out when he heard a loud explosion.
On Thursday night a combined team of security operatives engaged Boko Haram insurgents in a fierce gun battle at Jiddari Polo axis of the town.
After heated gun exchange which lasted hours, the security agents overpowered the sect. But a suicide bomber struck moments later, leaving two policemen with injuries.
The authorities are yet to react to Friday’s attack.
