Dressed in military uniform, Boko Haram (who later claimed responsibility) stuck the city of Maiduguri during the morning, attacking the main military barracks, freeing prisoners and causing panicked residents to flee. Soldiers engaged in a shootout with the insurgents near the main Giwa Military Barracks in the city's Fauri area. Following the initial attack (for which causality figures are not known) military forces along with the "Civilian JTF' captured several of recently freed inmates, regained control of the effected areas of the city and extra judicially executed 600 in various locations across Maiduguri, mainly in the school houses from which they were held. The fact that the executed inmates were members of Boko Haram is a matter of dispute. |
