Boko Haram attack on a military base in Nigeria's restive northeast kills five soldiers - army
Army spokesman Ezindu Idima said in a statement government troops"had a fierce encounter" before thwarting the militants who came in large numbers to loot food items and other valuables.
A column of militants from a Daesh-affiliated group stormed into the base in the town of Magumeri, 50 kilometres from the Borno state capital Maiduguri late Friday. "However, during the encounter the terrorists suffered heavy losses/casualty. Unfortunately, five soldiers paid the supreme price," he said.
Last week, the militants raided a military base in Mararrabar Kimba, 135 kilometres from Maiduguri, killing five troops and stealing weapons, while some 30 troops are listed as missing.
