24 Hour Curfew Imposed In Maiduguri

Following renewed Boko Haram attacks in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, a curfew has been imposed in the Maiduguri metropolis.

Governor Kashim Shettima declared a 24 hour curfew in Maiduguri earlier today.

The curfew was declared after a study of the “security situation,” arising from the renewed attacks by the sect.

The attacks came against a Nigerian Army facility, the Giwa Barracks, where captured Boko Haram detainees captured are being held.
