Some University of Maiduguri students residing at 202 Housing Estate are now running for their lives as the conflict rages.
Hauwa Ba’na, a 300 level of Political Science student, told SaharaReporters that ”we are crying in our hostel because the explosions are loud and everyone is panicking.”
A Civilian Joint Task Force confirmed the attack said ”we are under attack by Boko Haram. There is heavy fighting with military in Dalori and Wanori.”
