Boko Haram militants besieged Takulashi village on Sunday, killing at least 12 people.
This is the most recent attack by Boko Haram and ISWAP, a terror group that has also been carrying out attacks in the region.
A leader in the Chibok area informed the BBC that the attackers entered the village of Takulasi 18 kilometres (12 miles) from Chibok in vehicles carrying guns, which is near the village of Chibok – and killed 10 villagers and two of the patrols assisting the troops.
Sources said that during the Sunday’s attack, the attackers wnt after several people, including a woman who was breastfeeding her baby and set fire to several houses, forcing villagers to flee for their lives.
Troops have been posted in Chibok since the schoolgirls kidnap but deadly Boko Haram raids continue in the area. Authorities are yet to comment on the recent attack.
