Boko Haram insurgents have captured Monguno, a town that shares borders with Baga.

The town was attacked at about the same time with Maiduguri on Sunday morning, but the terrorists were routed from the Borno State capital.

According to security sources, the soldiers that fled Monguno were seen in Maiduguri. Also with the fleeing Nigerian soldiers were some Cameroon soldiers who had assisted to keep the place secure before the attack.

It was also gathered that some of the people that were killed were Customs officers who were deployed to the entrance of Maiduguri.
