The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) said 24 insurgents died during an exchange of fire between security forces and suspected terrorists in the pre-dawn attack in Maiduguri.




This information is contained in a statement signed by Brig.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, the Director of Defence Information, in Abuja on Monday.

According to the statement, the Nigerian security forces repelled the attack.

The statement said military locations, which included the Nigerian Air Force Base in Maiduguri, were targeted during the attack.

It stated that three decommissioned military aircraft as well as two helicopters were incapacitated in the course of the attack.

“Two Air Force personnel were also wounded while 24 insurgents died during the exchange of fire.

“Security forces are in pursuit of the terrorists in the Djemtillo general area along the Maiduguri/Banishek axis”, the statement stated.

It added that movements in Maiduguri and environs had been restricted.

It also enjoined citizens to report any of the fleeing insurgents, most of who could be identified with gunshot wounds whenever they were sighted.

The statement also stated that normal flights operation to and from the Maiduguri Airport, which was earlier disrupted temporarily, had resumed. (NAN)

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
