Two personnel of the Nigeria Immigration Service have lost their lives following a Boko Haram attack in Monguno Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to sources, the incident occurred last Thursday, but the news only filtered out late due to poor telecommunications in the area. 
Monguno, located about 136 kilometres from Maiduguri in Northern Borno Senatorial District, has remained a flashpoint in the insurgency.
It was gathered that troops quickly mobilised to repel the assault, though the number of casualties on the side of the insurgents could not be immediately confirmed.
Confirming the development on Saturday, a military source said: “The remains of the victims have been recovered and deposited at a hospital morgue awaiting burial, as their families and relatives have been briefed about the sad news.”
