Nigeria, May 16 -- Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have attacked Wulgo in the Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State.

Local security operatives reported that the attack was carried out on Thursday night by insurgents believed to be fleeing from Nigerian military operations in the Sambisa forest.

"The Boko Haram came around 2 a.m. They did not target civilians. There were gun battles between them and the military," a source, who requested anonymity, said.

"Reinforcements, including civilian JTF, arrived Friday morning," he added.

According to a YERWA EXPRESS NEWS report, the terrorists were fleeing military operations from Garin Malam Ali, Garin Glucose, and Ukuba, which are communities within the Sambisa forest.
