In a brutal daylight raid, Boko Haram insurgents targeted a group of local fishermen at the Alau Dam. The victims were rounded up while working at the reservoir and executed. Unlike the urban school shooting the previous day, this attack was carried out with a mix of gunfire and knives, with survivors reporting that many victims had their throats slit to ensure death while conserving ammunition.
Hundreds of Boko Haram insurgents, numbering between 200 and 500 fighters and dressed in military uniforms, launched a coordinated, multi-pronged assault on multiple military installations in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital and birthplace of the insurgency . The attackers, arriving on motorcycles and in approximately 20 pickup vans and captured military vehicles, targeted the Nigerian Air Force base, the 33 Battalion army barracks, military checkpoints, and the Maiduguri International Airport. They also attacked a trailer park, police stations, shops, petrol stations, and residential and public buildings, leaving a path of destruction several kilometers long
On the eve of the Eid-el-Kabir festival, suspected Boko Haram insurgents fired at least four mortar bombs into Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, from the Kaleri area on the city's outskirts. The explosives landed in the densely populated neighborhoods of Mairi, Custom (near Mansur Motors), Gwange (including Gwange II Primary School), and Gidan Ayaba Ngudiba line. The attack caused panic among residents preparing for the festival, killing at least 6 people and injuring 27 others. One victim was a 19-year-old named Godfrey Ebele, who was killed in front of his home.
