Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have attacked a military base in Ngamdu, Kaga local government area of Borno State.
It was gathered that the incident happened in the wee hours of Friday.
The insurgents, in large numbers, attacked the troops at the camp along Maiduguri-Damaturu highway.
Motorists and commercial drivers said as a result of the attack, the military blocked Ngamdu road until around 11:20am.
“I left Damaturu very early with the hope of arriving Maiduguri around 9am for an engagement but on reaching Ngamdu, the road was closed.”
