Information reaching LEADERSHIP at about 6:30am today suggest that the town of Damaturu, Yobe state capital is under serious attack, by Boko Haram as explosions and multiple gunshots woke residents and, forced many to flee.
“As I am talking to
you now, we are in serious confusion now, gunshots and explosions
everywhere especially from the southern part of the city and people are
fleeing,” said an embattled resident, Malam Abdulmalik.
The resident said he was woken up by the gunshots and blast which started at about 6am, and he suspects Boko Haram may be attacking.
Another resident who could barely speak as he was panting simply told our reporter that “We are running for our lives…we are under attack… We don’t know where to hide, the shooting is all over….”
Damaturu is 135 km West of Maiduguri, Borno State capital
