Boko Haram terrorists have killed four soldiers in an ambush
in Borno State, where they burnt an army base a day after killing seven
civilians, according to a soldier and other witnesses, AFP news agency reports.
The Islamists opened fire on an army convoy heading to the
small town of Gulumba in Borno state, the soldier added.
The assailants were from the Boko Haram faction headed by
Abu Musab Al-Barnawi, son of the sect's founder Mohammed Yusuf, the soldier
added, in an account confirmed by two members of a local vigilante group.
Barnawi was appointed last year by the so-called Islamic
State to replace veteran Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau.
