Nigerian soldiers successfully repelled an attack on Dikwa, a community in Borno State, on Tuesday evening, PRNigeria, a news agency close to the military authorities reports.
The agency reports that scores of armed terrorists, suspected to be members of the Boko Haram faction, ISWAP, stormed the Borno State town in a convoy of gun trucks.
The terrorists were, however, successfully repelled by troops of the Nigerian Army and Air Task Force foiled their plan, the news agency reports, quoting a security source.
The source said there was a fierce gun battle between the Nigerian troops and terrorists with many of the attackers killed.
“The terrorists were pounded severely. Those who survive the troops’ onslaught fled, abandoning their evil mission,” the security source was quoted as saying.
Dikwa is one of the Borno communities that has suffered repeated attacks by Boko Haram, which has since split into at least two factions
