Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have burnt down a police outpost, a primary healthcare centre and two classrooms in Logomani community, Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State.
Our correspondent gathered that the terrorists attacked the community late on Tuesday night shortly after launching an assault on the Forward Operating Base in Logomani, where one soldier was killed.
The terrorists reportedly dispersed residents through sporadic gunfire before setting the facilities ablaze.
The Acting Military Information Officer, Headquarters Joint Task Force North-East Operation Hadin Kai, Capt. Muhammed Goni, confirmed the attack in a statement on Thursday, saying two gun trucks and some combat enablers were damaged during the engagement.
