Suspected Boko Haram terrorists fired mortar bombs on Maiduguri in the early hours of Saturday, destroying a building and injuring a small boy.
The attack affected several buildings in a 1000 Housing Estate located in Maiduguri, Borno state capital.
According to reports, several members of a family sustained injuries as a result of the attack.
Explosives were also fired at Ngomari Old Airport, another community in the state capital.
A mortar also landed at 2589, Elkenemi street, a house owned by one Kullima, popularly known as coach.
Kullima said he was in his room when the explosive landed in his wife’s room.
He said members of his family sustained injuries as a result of the attack and are receiving treatment at a hospital.
The attack caused panic in the affected communities as several residents in Maiduguri scampered for safety.
In February, many people were feared dead after the insurgents launched a similar attack while attempting to infiltrate Maiduguri.
