There was palpable fear among the residents of Maiduguri after news emerged that terrorists were firing bombs from the outskirt of Ngomari Old Airport not far from Borno State University. The bombs reportedly landed on several houses around the vicinity causing extensive damage that was difficult to quantify. The governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum also visited the scene, calling on the military to wake up to its duties just as he said he was setting up a committee to assess the damages.
