Suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters have reportedly launched another midnight attack on Benishiekh in Borno State, targeting a military formation in the area.
Benishiekh, the headquarters of Kaga Local Government Area, came under attack around 11 p.m. on Tuesday, raising fresh security concerns along the Maiduguri–Damaturu Road. Sources said the вооружed insurgents appeared to be advancing toward the 29 Task Force Brigade of Operation Hadin Kai.
The location is the same military base where Brigadier-General O. O. Braimah and several soldiers were killed earlier in April, underscoring the renewed threat in the area.
Meanwhile, increased military activity was observed in Maiduguri, about 75 kilometres from Benishiekh, with fighter jets and helicopters seen hovering over the city.
Details of casualties or damage from the latest attack were not immediately available as of press time.
