Five soldiers and 58 civilians have been killed in a fresh attack on Daral-Jamal, a community along the Bama-Banki Road in the Sambisa Forest.
Suspected Boko haram terrorists struck the community on Friday Night, burning down over 20 houses, vehicles, foodstuffs and other valuables belonging to the resettled internally displaced persons (IDPS).
The community hosts a military base on the Nigeria-Cameroon border in a zone ravaged by jihadist attacks.
Meanwhile, Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, yesterday, visited the community to condole with families of the 63 people killed by Boko haram insurgents.
