Kano - Explosions and gunfire rocked the north Nigerian city of Damaturu on Monday, in a suspected Boko Haram attack that targeted police, residents told AFP.
The sound of blasts and heavy weapons being fired woke locals in the Gujba Road area of the Yobe state capital at about 04:45, said Umar Sada, who lives in the area.
