Explosions and gunfire hit north Nigeria city Suspected Boko Haram attack in northern city of Damaturu comes hours after scores were killed in northeast Borno state.
A local source confirmed to Al Jazeera that gunmen believed to be Boko Haram fighters attacked the Yobe state University in Damaturu and other targets Damaturu early on Monday morning.
The fighters came from the bush and opened fire, according the witnesses.
The military has engaged them and gunshots were being heard by 08:00 GMT around Damaturu, though the gunfire later moved away from the university and into the bush as Nigerian troops chased the fighters.
Some students and university staff fled to the bush and were holed up there. Residents of the city were largely remaining indoors as the gunfire continued while the military deployed around the area.
It was not immediately clear if there were casualties.
"We have left our homes. We are now in the bush. We don't know what's going to happen," local man Umar Sada, who said a police barracks had been destroyed, told the AFP news agency.
In a separate development, at least five people were killed in two explosions at a marketplace in Maidugari, our correspondent Rawya Rageh, reporting from Abuja, said.
Monday's attacks come a day after scores of people were reportedly killed after suspected Boko Haram fighters, who arrived on motorcycles throwing bombs, raided Shani town in Nigeria's northeast Borno state.
Shani is located in Nigeria's Borno state, the heartland of Boko Haram's five-year insurgency, which has displaced more than one million people.
The raid also comes after a suicide bomb and gun attack on the central mosque in the northern city of Kano on Friday which bore all the hallmarks of Boko Haram and left at least 120 people dead.
The armed group is fighting to revive an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria's north. It is suspected to be behind Friday's attack on the central mosque in the second city of Kano, where at least 100 people died.

Wizkid Shows The Arrogance Of Celebrity And Gets Arrested In Kenya
Celebrities and drugs go together like banku and tilapia. For the sake of this article, we're not going to get into a debate about the severity of drug use or if smoking marijuana should even be considered drug use.
In most places in the world, including Ghana, it is illegal to smoke pot. Yet many celebrities, musicians especially, can't seem to stay away from it.
Remember when Chris Brown came to Ghana last year (2013) and smoked weed on stage? Many Ghanaian fans, including myself, were outraged.
It's one thing smoking when you're in your house and another smoking in public spaces, especially where smoking is forbidden. But I guess sometimes these celebrities think they are so big and invincible that they can flout the rules with impunity. Sometimes they do, most of the time in fact, but once in a while the law reminds them that they aren't above it.
Nigeria's Wizkid was in Kenya to shoot a video and to perform some shows. The singer, however, couldn't forgo his smoking habits and things went sour when the “Matter” singer was caught smoking in a hotel where smoking isn't allowed.
When Wizkid was checking out of the Nairobi Crown Plaza hotel, the manager of the hotel asked him if he had smoked in the hotel. Wizkid, maybe thinking that because he was a paying guest or because he was a celebrity that he shouldn't be questioned about his smoking, argued with the manager. The manager called the police.
The police showed up, determined that Wizkid had broken the law, and arrested, handcuffed and sent the singer to the police station. Shame on you, Wizkid! Who said you are above the law?!
Reports said Wizkid paid Sh50,000 to the hotel for the infraction. As for the Kenyan police, it took the intervention of Victoria Kimani, a Kenyan singer and Wizkid's new flame, to have Wizkid released from the police cell. Victoria is said to have been with Wizkid during his stay at the hotel.
So what is it that makes these celebrities think they are above the same rules and laws that the rest of us non-celebrities have to follow? Let's face it, celebrities, musicians, they entertain us, which is a useful thing. Sure, it isn't as useful as say fighting Ebola or helping to feed people, but you'd never know it by the praise they receive from the public and their fans, in particular.
We elevate these people to the status of demigods by constantly showering them with money and praise, and they parade through the world as if they are untouchable. But it's an illusion, the illusion of celebrity.
The reality is that celebrities are just as human as anyone else. They are, technically anyway, subject to the same laws as everyone else, and their bodies and minds react to harmful substances the same way. It takes someone like Whitney Houston dying from drug abuse or Wizkid being taken away in handcuffs to remind them of the reality that hasn't changed outside of their own perception.
Will this be a wakeup call to Wizkid and cause him to change his behavior, especially in public and as he relates to people? We'll see. Hopefully. Will this incident serve as a wakeup call to other celebrities who think they can get away with anything? LOL. Definitely not! But the one thing you have to admit is that it is just as entertaining, if not more so, seeing celebrities led away in handcuffs than it is watching them perform on stage!
