“A bomb attack was reported in Dalori but normalcy has returned to the area.

“The Dalori incident occurred a day after the Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP) carried out multiple drone attacks on a military location at Wajiroko, a remote area in Damboa Local Government, Borno State”.

Some ISWAP terrorists had launched a coordinated attack on the military position in Wajiroko with various types of firearms at about 11:30pm on Tuesday. The military troops in the area first repelled the attack as the terrorists were left in disarray and forced to withdraw.

However, the terrorists returned shortly with multiple drones with locally fabricated grenade to attack the military base. Sources said five soldiers sustained injuries while a military equipment damaged.

The military is yet to officially confirm the attack.
