Boko Haram gunmen have attacked Jiddari Polo community in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital in North-East Nigeria.

Residents have fled their homes and taken refuge in neighbouring communities, following the attack on their community on Wednesday.

Army troops have repelled the attack and there is heavy security presence in Jiddari Polo.

The spokesman for the Nigerian Army, Brigadier-General Sani Usman asked residents of the community not to panic as the situation is under control.

“Please do not panic. Situation under control in Maiduguri. People should not panic.” Usman said in a text message in response to questions from journalists.

Jiddari Polo, a community on the outskirts of Maiduguri, was faced with a similar attack in December 2015.
