There were explosions and sporadic gunshots close to State Security Services, SSS, office, the central roundabout and Gujba area of Damaturu, Yobe State, yesterday.
It will be recalled that Governor Ibrahim Gaidam had pleaded with residents of Damaturu not to flee the state capital, as Joint Task Force, JTF, Police and SSS were doing everything possible to restore peace to the state.
However, most residents in some parts of the city, especially the Jerusalem Ward, were seen moving their property out of the state capital.
The cause of the recent shoot-out was yet to be ascertained at press time.
