Boko Haram have taken over a military base in Damasak town, Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to SaharaReporters, the insurgents stormed the community, shooting in all directions before ramming a pick-up truck loaded with explosives into the military base.
A resident said the gunmen came in different groups and could not be counted.
He added that some Nigerian soldiers were killed while others fled into the bush.
“They came, hundreds of them, with guns, trucks, and grenades and started firing from different directions. The soldiers ran away and left us on our own. They didn’t shoot at them (insurgents) at all. Though some soldiers were killed I can’t say how many,” he told SaharaReporters.
It was learnt that the insurgents also burnt a Nigerian army tanker and some buildings in the military base.
