According to NAN, the military repelled Boko Haram attackers who made an attempt to infiltrate Maiduguri and also stopped the insurgents at Geidam in Yobe.

The agency said many people fled their homes.

The attacks could have effect on the turnout of voters in the presidential and national assembly elections.
