Consequently, the terrorists launched multiple explosions in parts of Maiduguri.
According to the sources, also confirmed by PRNigeria, a security embedded media house, “motar bombs were launched at some parts of the state capital by the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters as residents await Buhari.
“The bombs landed in many houses around Ngomari, Bulumkutu and Ayafe close to the Airport, it was learnt”.
But some surveillance military aircraft have been deployed to assist the ground troops forestall any impending attack by ISWAP elements.
