The Nigerian Army, working alongside the Nigerian Air Force, has repelled an attack by Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in Banki, located in the Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to a security source, the attack occurred on Friday morning but was swiftly foiled by troops, bringing the situation under control.
Although the military response forced the insurgents to retreat, details regarding casualties or damages remain unclear as of the time of filing this report.
Security forces have intensified operations against insurgent groups across the North-East in recent weeks as part of efforts to curb terrorist activities in the region.
More updates are expected as additional information becomes available.
