Suspected Boko Haram terrorists on Tuesday attacked a military point killing 5 soldiers and injuring 5 others, locals and a military officer say.
“Our men were outgunned and outnumbered,” the military officer in Maiduguri said according to Vanguard. He asked to be anonymous because he wasn't authorized to speak on the subject.
According to reports, scores of Boko Haram fighters loyal to Abu Musab Al-Barnawi late Monday stormed a checkpoint near Sabon Garin Kimba village about 140 kilometres (90 miles) from Maiduguri.
“We lost five men in the fight. Five more were injured,” the military officer said.
A local, Mustapha Karimbe added: “The terrorists attacked the soldiers… and remained in the village for three hours before they withdrew,” said Karimbe.
This will be the second attack on the same military checkpoint in under a month.
