The Police Commissioner, Damian Chukwu said the plot by the suspects to attack a Maiduguri cattle market was foiled by members of a youth vigilance group. 

This development means the end of the conventional shooting war declared last week by President Muhammadu Buhari does not translate to absolute tranquility in the troubled Northeast. 

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army has re-opened two border roads in Borno State following troops’ clearance of Boko Haram remnants in the ongoing military operations at the borders with Niger and Chad in the Northeast.
