According to French news site AFP, the ISWAP fighters invaded the town of Dikwa in restive Borno state, dislodging troops from the military base and torching the humanitarian hub.
Security and humanitarian sources told the publication that the attack left 25 aid workers trapped. A humanitarian source said;
“We have 25 staff sheltering in the bunker which is under siege by the militants… but so far no staff has been affected.”
Military reinforcements, including fighter jets and a helicopter gunship, had been deployed to help repel the attackers, the military source said.
