It happened in Dala, the northeast city of Maiduguri; people saw rocket-propelled grenades fired into homes.
The Islamists’ assault on the Borno state capital came a day after President Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration, with the new leader vowing to re-enforce Maiduguri with a new command and control center to better coordinate the counter-insurgency effort.
Shortly after midnight (on Friday), residents in the Dala suburb south of the city woke to the sound of RPGs being fired in succession, said resident Modu Karumi, in an account supported by several others.
