At least, seven people were killed and several others injured in two separate attacks in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State on Wednesday.
In the first incident, insurgents attacked farmers on their farmlands, killing five people and leaving others critically wounded. The attack occurred 15 kilometers from Damboa town along the Damboa-Maiduguri highway.
A source within the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) told newsmen that troops recovered the bodies of the victims in the evening after survivors alerted security forces.
