Kautukari, a community in Chibok LGA of Borno state, was yesterday under attack by suspected fighters of the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP).
A resident told TheCable that the insurgents invaded the community around 6pm on Tuesday and started shooting randomly.
The suspected ISWAP fighters reportedly set houses ablaze while locals fled into the bush for safety.
Soldiers stationed at a military forward operation base (FOB) in Kada, two kilometres away from Kautukari, were said to have been dislodged.
TheCable, however, understands that troops have been mobilised from the army’s 117 battalion in Chibok town to the area.
