Boko Haram clash with troops in Damaturu

Kano - Boko Haram gunmen fought running battles with
Nigerian troops on the streets of the northeastern city of
Damaturu on Friday, in an apparent reprisal attack after a
recent raid on a militant stronghold, residents told AFP.
"The gunmen arrived at around 7:30 pm (1830 GMT),
firing guns and shouting 'Allahu Akbar!' (God is greatest)
," said Mukhtar Sani, a student of the Yobe State
University in the city.
Troops intercepted the insurgents and Aishatu Bala,
who lives nearby, added: "All the streets are deserted.
Everybody has moved indoors and all we hear are
sounds of gunfire."
