The Nigerian army has revealed that it has repelled an attack from Boko
Haram militants in the town of Gwoza, Borno State, in the north-east. An
army statement says that in the two-hour fight, which started at 04:00
GMT, seven Boko Haram fighters were killed and weapons were captured.
It added that "the desperate attack today was a failed attempt to
project an image of strength". Gwoza was at one point declared by Boko
Haram as the capital of the caliphate that it wanted to create in
northern Nigeria.
