Suspected Boko Haram insurgents are currently attacking Borno village in Konduga local government area, locals said.

According to the source, the insurgents stormed Auno village 7:15 pm, about 13 kilometres from Maiduguri.

"Some motorists were forced to make u-turn on hearing the sound of exchange of guns. Some drivers made a u-turn to the nearest village, I guess to Jakana," the source said.

Recalled that twenty-seven people died and 64 others were injured in twin bomb blasts that rocked a mosque and stalls at a busy market in Mubi town yesterday.

Witnesses said loud explosions ripped through the Gwanjo market around 1 pm when the market was crowded and traders prepared for noon prayers, leaving behind dismembered bodies of victims.
