Troops and Boko Haram insurgents
exchanged gunfire at Auno, a community in Kada local government area of Borno
state.
A
military said that the insurgents invaded the village with gun
trucks and tricycles.
“The
battle is ongoing as I speak to you. The attackers struck like 15 minutes ago,”
he said.
It was gathered that security operatives succeeded in repelling the militants.
The
incident comes one week after insurgents tried to invade Maiduguri, Borno
capital, but were pushed back by a combined team of air force, police and the
army.
Officials
of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) were later deployed to
the Jidarri Polo area of the ancient city, where the battle took place.
The
military authorities are yet to react to the latest attack.
