Over 10 persons have been reported dead in an exchange of fire between the military and members of Boko Haram in Maiduguri, Borno State, today.
But the spokesman of the military team, the Joint Task Force, Hassan Mohammed, was only able to confirm the death of eight members of Boko Haram.
Mohammed said the JTF had to move in when members of Boko Haram attacked the popular fish market along Baga Road in Maiduguri.
Mohammed said three civilians were wounded in the JTF’s clash with Boko Haram and were receiving treatment at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.
