ABUJA: At least 12 people have been killed by Boko Haram in Nigeria. Boko Haram insurgents raided on Damasak town in Borno State and killed 12 people.
Sources said that the town of Damasak, a few kilometers from the Niger border, had been recaptured from Boko Haram by Chadian and Nigerien troops in March but the insurgents have attacked it several times since.
Chadian security sources said that Boko Haram militants burned houses and killed at least 12 people but they did not have current figures.
They said that they withdrew from Damasak a few days ago because civilians came back but the Nigerian army never came to occupy the town.
