Failed attempt to attack Maiduguri by Boko Haram
(MENAFN) A failed Christmas Day attempt was made to attack Nigeria's major northeast city of Maiduguri by Boko Haram jihadists as they were pushed out by Nigerian soldiers after a prolonged gun battle, military and militia sources told AFP.
While in several pickup trucks, the jihadists opened fire on a military checkpoint on the Molai outskirts of the city at around 5:30 pm (1630 GMT) on Monday, triggering a gunfight that lasted for more than an hour.
"The terrorists came in several pickups and engaged troops at Molai who fought and repelled the attack with aerial support", a senior military officer in Maiduguri said.
