A fire exchange with members of the Islamist group "Boko Haram" occurred in the city of Maiduguri in the northeast of the country. According to spokesperson for the Nigerian military command Sagir Musa, one serviceman was killed in the clashes, two more were injured. In addition, 13 militants were killed.
