The new attack came barely 24 hours after its latest assault on Nigeria’s second largest city.
The group, according to eyewitnesses attacked some quarters along BUK road in the city metropolis and which the residence of the IGP was not left out.
Meanwhile, gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram members on Wednesday night killed two policemen in Lapai, Niger State.
“The gunmen who rode on a motorcycle shot and killed two policemen watching over a highway and sped away,” police spokesman for Niger State Command, Richard Oguche told AFP.
He said the gunmen were suspected to be part of a gang that raided a prison and freed 119 inmates in nearby Kogi State last week.
The group claimed it was behind the jail break to free seven of its detained members.
Authorities said at least 25 of the detainees were later captured.
“We believe the attack was in response to the re-arrest of their comrades they set free in the prison raid,” Oguche said.
