Members of the violent Islamic sects, Boko Haram, on Monday attacked Maiduguri and Damaturu, the capital towns of troubled Borno and Yobe states, and killed several people.

The insurgents also sacked police stations in the towns and shot at a Nigerian Air Force jet even as they attempted to take over the Government House in Damaturu.

But the military reportedly put up a fierce battle to avoid losing the seat of power to the insurgents. And Governor Ibrahim Gaidam later issued a statement to commend the gallantry of the soldiers for successfully defending the Government House.
