Unknown gunmen yesterday killed two persons in a fierce gun battle with security men in Azare town of Bauchi, BBC Hausa Service has reported.
According to the report, this is happening barely two days after a traditional leader was shot dead in front of his house.
In another report, a bomb explosion and several gun shots were heard in Gamborun N’gala town of Borno State.
Two security men were also reported to have died when some churches and security posts were attacked.
Around 50 gunmen in cars and on motorcycles carried out the attacks on three churches and border posts with neighbouring Cameroon, opening fire on the police and chanting Allahu Akbar (God is Greatest), the report said.
Among the security posts burned were offices for Immigration, Customs and the Secret Police, and a quarantine building in the city of Gamboru Ngala, about 140 kilometres (80 miles) from the Boko Haram stronghold in Maiduguri.
