BOKO HARAM ATTACKS RANN,BOENO,KILLS 17 PEOPLE,BURN HOUSES.{PHOTO}.

Boko Haram terrorists and Islamic State-aligned fighters have invaded Rann community in Borno State, killing at least 17 people, including a soldier and an aid worker.


Security and militia sources told AFP on Tuesday that hundreds of fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) stormed the town of Rann on the border with Cameroon, pushing troops out of a base and occupying the town for several hours.


The attack provoked a mass exodus of residents towards Cameroon before the Nigerian troops regained the town with aerial support.


ISWAP which split from Boko Haram in 2016 has been consolidating its control since the death in May of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau in clashes between the two rival factions.


Heavily-armed fighters "came in around 1:30 am on foot like a swarm of locusts and overwhelmed soldiers who had to abandon their base", said an anti-jihadist militia leader in the town.


"The insurgents killed 11 people in the attack," said the source who asked not to be identified.
