sustained during the fierce battle with the security operatives that
lasted over five hours. The incident according to sources started in the early
hours of Monday morning at about 5:30am. This is even as an unconfirmed report
revealed that another group of the insurgents were sighted on Monday around
Mafa Local Government Area and Kayamula villages of Konduga Local Government
Area near Maiduguri metropolis, but those sighted around Kayamula village were
killed by military troops, while those around Mafa were suspected to be making
frantic effort to enter the metropolis.

review of the curfew in the metropolis from 6a.m. to 7p.m. as against 9pm
earlier imposed on the state which is under emergency rule, according to the
spokesman of the 7 Division Nigerian Army, Colonel Sank Usman Bama is
about 76 kilometres drive and south east of Maiduguri, the state capital which
had witnessed series of deadly attacks by suspected terrorists. A competent
source said, the insurgents stormed the town through Bama-Banki-Gwoza Road but
were intercepted by gallant military troops near the Bama Mobile Police Unit
located about five kilometers away from Bama town.
