President Buhari is now in Maiduguri, capital of Borno State where he
was received by a Borno State Government delegation. While in the
state, President Buhari will declare open the Chief of Army Staff (COAS)
Annual Conference which was originally scheduled to hold in Benin, Edo
State. He is also expected to visit anti-insurgency troops in the
state. The visit comes days after the military confirmed some soldiers
were killed by Boko Haram militants in a surprise attack in Metele, in
the northeastern state.
