Residents reported that at least three people were injured as the terrorists burnt down the whole village as many ran for safety after gunshot rent the air.

"The heavy gunshots woke us up. We saw the flames from faraway. Early this morning, we went to the Mbolakel village; it was burnt down, three wounded, there was no loss of lives," Musa, a resident, told Sahara Reporters.

The attack comes just days after Boko Haram terrorists carried out a similar attack on Makalama community, also near Chibok.

Since Boko Haram's insurgency escalated in 2009, it has killed over 27,000 people and displaced millions in the northeast region, with its operations also extending to border countries like Cameroon, Chad and Niger
