Suspected Boko Haram militants have reportedly launched an attack on Geidam community in Yobe State.
This assault comes shortly after an earlier attack on a market in Ngalda community earlier in the week, which left seven people dead.
According to local residents, the sound of heavy gunfire erupted around 1 a.m. and lasted nearly two hours.
The confrontation between the insurgents and soldiers resulted in the death of one attacker, with some weapons seized from the group.
Currently, security forces are conducting mop-up operations in the area to secure the community.
However, the attack has not been officially claimed by Boko Haram or any other terror group. Police in the state have described the incident as a robbery, stating that the assailants targeted POS operators in the market, stealing money and valuables.
