Calm has returned to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, after hours of shelling, bombardments and shooting between soldiers and Boko Haram insurgents on Sunday .
Reports say a combined force of soldiers and Civilian-JTF, killed hundreds of Boko Haram members and a cache of ammunition recovered.
Many civilians were reportedly killed by stray bullets and Air Force jet bombings.
In a suburb known as Abujantalakawa along Maiduguri – Biu highway, an old man and his daughter were reportedly hit and killed by an RPG shot by the terrorists.

Sunday’s attack is the second by the insurgents in one week as they continue their plot to take the Borno capital. The military had last Sunday foiled a similar plan by the group, who also attacked Konduga and Monguno.
