The Terrorists fired rockets at different directions as troops and Air Force Task Team engaged them to repel the attack.

According to eyewitnesses, the explosions started very early with the first two exploding at Gomari Airport and the third one landing in a building at 1,000 Housing Estate near Hajj Transit Camp, where the repentant Boko Haram insurgents are being housed.

“I heard the first explosion early in the morning and then the second one.

“Then I came out to see where it was happening, before the third one landed in our estate.

“I saw when it landed and I immediately laid on the ground. The moment it landed in the house, the whole place became dark with dust and smoke.

“The fouth one landed elsewhere, but it was not as heavy as the first three.

“If you notice, they have been trying to attack all communities where their ex-colleagues are kept.

“We complained about this for so long, but no one is paying attention,” Zanna disclosed.
