Boko Haram continues attacks in Nigeria

Borno State
"The situation is threatening. The last attack in Maiduguri was daring. Everyone should join hands toward ridding Nigeria of the remnants of the insurgents," these were the words of Ali Ndume, a Senator from restive northeast Borno State on Sunday.


Ndume, currently serving a six-month suspension, was reacting to recent coordinated attacks by Boko Haram terrorists and described the situation as "worrisome."

The city of Maiduguri has recently come under series of attacks, including the University of Maiduguri where over a dozen people have been killed including a professor.

Despite the efforts, however, the insurgents, whose activities have caused the death of about 100,000 people since 2009, have still been able to mount attacks on soldiers and civilians.

Boko Haram has launched more than 40 attacks which have resulted in civilian deaths So far in 2017, according to media reports.

Last month, Maiduguri, the largest city in Nigeria's northeast, was interrupted by bombings during Eid al-Fitr celebrations.

The police on Wednesday confirmed that 19 people were killed in the latest deadly Boko Haram attacks in Maiduguri in Nigeria's troubled North-East.
