The 7th Divisional headquarters of the Nigerian army has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital. The curfew has been termed indefinite by the army pending any other notice that may follow.
The announcement was contained in a terse statement issued by the Army this afternoon.

The action of the Military is to ensure that law and order are maintained in the state capital following the threat by Boko Haram to seize the Borno state capital.
The Army at the moment is confronting the insurgents in Bama, just 40 miles away from Maiduguri. This has created tension in the state capital and other surrounding towns.[eap_ad_3]
