About 
2,000 security operatives and military hardware, including fighter jets 
have been deployed to Maiduguri ahead of yesterday’s declaration of 
State of Emergency.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In neighboring Yobe State, it is not 
clear how many soldiers were deployed but residents said shortly after 
the declaration of state of emergency, stop and search operations have 
been intensified in the state capital while movement have been 
restricted in other places.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Residents said the deployment of the 
federal troops, including the army, navy, air force and operatives of 
the State Security Service (SSS) began at the weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We started sensing danger on Saturday
 when we saw military trucks conveying soldiers to the Joint Task Force 
(JTF) headquarters along Pompomari area,” Usman Jika, a resident of 
Maiduguri said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“By Sunday morning, so many roadblocks
 have sprung up in the state capital and there was noticeable cordon and
 search of houses by new faces (soldiers),” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A resident of Kumshe, one of the red 
spots in Maiduguri said his neighbour was beaten to pulp on Sunday when 
soldiers besieged the areas and forced all the people out of their 
houses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“All the soldiers that came to the 
neighborhood appeared new in the town, some of them said it is now time 
for ‘fire for fire” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another resident said he saw military 
aircrafts landing at the Maiduguri International Airport and the air 
strip at the Air Force base in the state capital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“A lot of fighting equipment have been
 deployed to Maiduguri,” Hajja Maimuna, a resident of Gomari, whose 
house is close to the Air Force base said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We are really terrified because the 
military operatives coming to Maiduguri in the last two days far 
outnumbered those that came during the previous emergency rule,” she 
said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Even though the state governor has 
not been removed, which is good, the truth is that Maiduguri is now a 
garrison town, full of angry soldiers who are ready to kill at the 
slightest provocation. The deployment will definitely hamper social and 
economic life of the people,” she said.</div>
