Heavy fighting broke out on Saturday in Monguno, Borno State, which has been under Boko Haram control since August last year, in the bid of the military to flush out the militants in the town.

In a related development, the terrorists have attacked a military base in Gombe, in a renewed offensive to capture the Gombe State capital.

Military sources said the fighting is ongoing simultaneously on both fronts.

“The fighting is going on at the same time; federal troops have advanced on Monguno, to flush out the insurgents but the terrorists have attacked a military base in Gombe. We are dealing with the situations,” a source said.
