Four security operatives have been killed in an attack by members of the outlawed Boko Haram group on a military checkpoint at Bama-Banki Junction road, close to the Nigerian border with Cameroon.
According to reports, after killing four persons said to be security operatives, the sect members zoomed off in their patrol vehicle, and also made away with their arms and ammunition.
Bama-Banki road is along the Firgi-Gwoza federal highway and located around the notorious Sambisa Games Forest which links Pulka town of Gwoza, a zone believed to be a cluster for many Boko Haram camps.
It was learnt that the gunmen who were fully armed with rocket propelled grenades and Improvised Explosive Devises (IEDs), invaded the military checkpoint at 11.26 pm on Saturday and started shooting the security agencies whom they overpowered, killing four of them before taking away with their patrol vehicle.
The suspected terrorists were also said to have set ablaze the houses, filling stations and shops around the popular junction including the security post, before they fled into the bushes.
