The militants had sent fliers to the town earlier in the week, warning of an impending attack, a tactic used by the extremists elsewhere in the region, said Borno senator Ahmed Zanna.

Following the threat, some people fled, schools were closed and military reinforcements were deployed to the town roughly 45 kilometres (28 miles) northeast of Borno�s capital Maiduguri.

But when the attack began �the soldiers fled because they could not match the firepower and numerical strength of the gunmen,� Zanna told AFP.
