 The police command in Borno has confirmed that five people were injured in an attack coordinated by Boko Haram insurgents in the state's Gwoza Local Government Area.

Abdu Umar, the state's Commissioner of Police (CP), confirmed the incident in an interview on Saturday in Maiduguri, the state capital.

He claimed that terrorists fired several gunshots at voters from the top of the Mandara Mountains, and that five people were injured in the attack.

According to Mr. Umar, the victims included two females and three males.

"Military efforts within the area of responsibility aided in pursuing the terrorists, forcing them to flee due to superior firepower," he said.

The CP stated that normalcy has since been restored as the voting process continued while the victims were referred to the hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, the Network of Civil Society Organisations in Borno (NECSOB) has expressed optimism about the turnout of voters in the presidential and National Assembly elections.

The group chairman, Bulama Abiso, who led a team of observers for the election, described the turnout as “encouraging”.
