SAN FRANCISCO, July 26, (THEWILL) –Â An old man and a child were reported dead after Boko Haram insurgents attacked a camp for internally displaced persons (IDP) in Maiduguri, Borno State capital.
The Dalori IDP camp, located near University of Maiduguri, came under attack by the insurgents who broke in through the back perimeter fence at about 8 p.m on Thursday.
The gunmen first attacked the soldiers’ station near the camp before they moved in, shooting sporadically and also broke into shops and stole food items.
The attack sent panic around the university and forced some students and many residents living around the locations to flee into the town.
