Kubla, the scene of the attacks, borders Borno State, another of the three northeast Nigerian states where the insurgent group remains most active.Our source said the heavily armed militants arrived in Kubla and started burning houses and stealing foodstuff, until a contingent of the military was mobilized and deployed to confront them.The soldiers engaged the militants in a fierce exchange of gunfire overnight.
Our source said he was in no position yet to provide details about the level of casualty on the part of the soldiers as well as the militants.In a similar development, another Boko Haram cell last night carried out an attack in the Wukari area of Taraba State.
