Soldiers have repelled an attack by  Boko Haram on Friday night as they attempted to invade Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.
The insurgents came in their numbers around midnight through Dala, a suburb of the town but could not gain entrance because of the military trenches.
The soldiers engaged them in a fire exchange and they resorted to shelling from a distance into Maiduguri leaving eleven residents of the Gomari Airport area killed and many injured.
An entire household of five was killed while other victims met their death randomly.

The incidence which lasted through the night has thrown residents into panic and unease over the unknown .
