President Jonathan speaks Regarding the Bloodbath in Maiduguri



There was panic in Maiduguri yesterday morning, Fri Mar 14 as residents were rattled out of sleep by sporadic gunshots and booming sounds of bombs as soldiers engaged a horde of Boko Haram members who had unleashed terror on the military settlement in the Borno State capital in a bid to rescue some of their sect members detained by the military.
“I woke up to hear loud sounds of gunshots, I was terrified. As the morning wore on the sounds continued and created panic in the city. Those who were rushing off early to drop their children in schools were forced to come back… the whole of this GRA was in confusion…I have never been this afraid”, Mallam Abdulmalik Abubakar, a resident of the GRA in Maiduguri told our correspondent.
