Amid the protest which created tension in parts of Maiduguri, hundreds of civilians reportedly fled the city out of fear that it might also be attacked by Boko Haram.
Apprehension among Maiduguri residents, according to Reuters news agency, grew after the fierce fighting between the military and Boko Haram in Bama.
Reuters said travellers besieged bus stations in the city seeking transport to Damaturu in Yobe State. It added that vehicles laden with passengers and their belongings were seen on the Maiduguri-Damaturu road.
The agency quoted one of the residents, Saka Lawal, as having said, “I’m leaving now because people keep saying Boko Haram may attack Maiduguri anytime and it is possible.”
