Boko Haram invades Damaturu, attacks State University
According to security sources in the capital, the Islamic sect, forced themselves into the city when they started shooting around Bukar Abba University, along Gujba road where a heavy fight ensued between them and the military. The situation was later brought under the control of the military.
The source said, all security operatives are under serious alert as some of the insurgents who melted into the city might invade other parts of the city.
“There is no battle of such that will end without casualties. However, we have minimal casualty, while the insurgents suffered greater casualty. I am not in the position to tell you how many soldiers or other security operatives or Boko Haram that were killed because I was not counting. We are busy for now, we shall talk later please. Thank you.” He said.
Speaking to a resident at Umaru Tukur, he told Our Correspondent that, ”everybody is indoors at the moment, praying for peace as calls made amongst resident informed that corpses littered the streets, but the military are in control of the situation.”
A hospital source at the Sani Abacha General Hospital said, corpses are being brought to the hospital. ” I did not count, but those who were bringing the corpses said, so far they have counted over 70 corpses.”

Two blasts rip through Maiduguri market
Two explosions ripped through a market in the city of Maiduguri on Monday, witnesses said, nearly a week after two female suicide bombers attacked the same area, killing more than 45 people.
“A middle-aged woman approached the site where chicken sellers attend to customers but vigilantes who stood nearby insisted on checking the luggage she was carrying,” said witness Ahmad Sanusi.
“The woman refused, arguing that what she held were her wares. While the argument ensued, some people gathered at the scene and that was when she detonated the explosive,” he told AFP.
The Monday Market was hit last Tuesday by two women who detonated explosives hidden under their hijabs. The same market was attacked on July 1 and at least 15 people died.
A police bomb squad on Friday defused a suspected remote-controlled improvised explosive device buried in the dirt near another market in Maiduguri.
Boko Haram militants were suspected and it was thought the bomb was intended to hit worshippers at a local mosque. Two suspected female suicide bombers were arrested in Maiduguri last week.
It was not immediately clear whether the woman in Monday’s incident was a suicide bomber or if she was merely carrying explosives hidden in her luggage.
But another witness, Goni Abba, reported a second explosion just seconds after the first. Nearby buildings were destroyed and there were reports of deaths and injuries, he added.
There was no immediate official confirmation of fatalities but the police, army and Red Cross were at the scene.
Another local resident who was in the area at the time said: “I was at the Borno state television station, which is just opposite the Monday Market, to see a friend.
“I heard an explosion and we were told that it happened at the market. I’m now in his office because it’s not safe to venture outside,” said the resident, who asked not to be identified.
The blasts happened as Boko Haram fighters launched a dawn raid on the capital of neighbouring Yobe state, Damaturu, apparently targeting the police.

Liverpool offer Gerrard new contract – Rodgers
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard had been offered a new contract by the club, manager Brendan Rodgers said Monday.“Firstly in terms of the club the latest is that Steven Gerrard and his representatives have been offered a contract here and at this moment in time that’s where it’s at,” Rodgers said at a news conference ahead of Liverpool’s match away to bottom of the Premier League Leicester on Tuesday.“It certainly won’t be money,” the Northern Irishman added. “I’ve spoken to him enough times at length and that won’t be the case.“Between now and the end of the season he deserves the opportunity to think.”Former England midfielder Gerrard, 34, has spent his entire 16-year professional career at home town side Liverpool.However, in October he said he could leave Anfield if he wasn’t offered a new deal.“I won’t be retiring this summer,” said Gerrard, whose current contract expires in May.“I will play beyond this season. We will have to wait and see if that’s at Liverpool or somewhere else. That’s Liverpool’s decision.”Saturday saw Gerrard dropped to the bench for Liverpool’s 1-0 Premier League win over Stoke at Anfield — a match that took place on the 16th anniversary of his debut for the club.However, Rodgers was adamant there was nothing more in his decision to put Gerrard among the substitutes than his belief it was now unrealistic to expect the former England captain to play every game.Gerrard rubbished Sunday reports of a rift with Rodgers by posting a photo of himself and the manger in training on Instagram, together with the message: “Just to set the record straight media talk of a fall out between us 2 is NONSENSE.”Gerrard came on late against Stoke, with Rodgers deploying Lucas Leiva in the anchor midfield position he usually occupies.Rodgers’ decision appeared to be vindicated by both a much-needed win and a clean sheet into the bargain.And the Liverpool manager, asked on Monday if there was a rift between himself and Gerrard, said: “No, 150 percent no.“If there are two words that describe our relationship it would be honesty and respect. He is arguably the best player to ever play in the Premier League.“It’s not so much about the number of games he plays now, it’s about the level of the game and that is something we will look at.”Gerrard, playing as a deep midfielder, nearly led Liverpool to the title last season before they finished runners-up to eventual champions Manchester City.But with star striker Luis Suarez having left Anfield in pre-season and Daniel Sturridge sidelined through injury since August, Liverpool now find themselves a huge 16 points adrift of leaders Chelsea, and Rodgers said he was contemplating a different role for Gerrard.“With the players we had up front, his quality could exploit that,” said Rodgers.“The dynamic up front has changed so I have to think of a restructure so we look at a different type of midfielder to come in.....
