Eleven people were killed when Boko Haram gunmen and suicide bombers launched a rare combined attack in Maiduguri, police said on Thursday.
Borno state police commissioner Damian Chukwu said one civilian was killed as locals in the Jiddari Polo area of the city fled the insurgents, while 10 were killed nearby in three separate suicide blasts.
Recall TheNewsGuru.com had earlier published that the insurgents attacked Maiduguri, causing many residents to abandon their houses, despite assurances from security operatives.
