Relation of one of the officers and soldiers killed in Borno, Yobe states amid weeping during their burial at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja.
Boko Haram militants on Tuesday launched a renewed attack on Maiduguri just days after the military repelled an assault on the key city. Residents said the Islamists arrived in the Moronti area of the city by river but were unable to advance further because of wide ditches and embankments dug by soldiers around the city limits.
