Suspected Boko Haram insurgents today attempted an attack on Dikwa military post on Friday, with community residents fleeing the community for safety, Njenje Media News reports.
Reports say they came in trucks and motorcycles but were unsuccessful in their operation as they could not penetrate the military post.
Confirming the incident to TVC News, a Civilian JTF disclosed that the insurgents came from the Dikwa/Bama Gulumba forest.
He said that even though there was no loss of lives, the insurgents attempted to occupy the late Shehu of Dikwa palace that was reclaimed by the Army.
This attack is coming barely a week after Marte military post was overrun by insurgents, but were killed with the destruction of eight gun trucks.
Njenje Media News recalls that in 2016, the border community with Cameroon, was severally attacked, before the military recaptured it including the Shehu’s palace.
