Troops Ambush, Arrest Boko Haram Logistics Team
Nigerian Army Soldiers are said to have invaded a building housing United Nations (U.N) workers in Maiduguri, the Borno State Capital.
According to Reuters, the invasion of the building, previously owned by a former Governor of Borno State is said to have taken place in the early hours of Friday.
