The details of the attack are still sketchy as at the time of filling this report but this isn't the first attack launched on the community by the Boko Haram insurgents.
The community was first attacked on November 25, 2017, during which three soldiers were killed while six others got injured.
The Nigerian Army had then blamed the November 2017 attack on the collusion of the residents with the insurgents; an allegation that was rebuffed by leaders of the community.
