Scores of people have fled their homes following attack by Boko Haram.
Boko Haram attacked Zabarmari, Jere Local Government, some 30 kilometres to Maiduguri this evening forcing many residents to flee.
Sources said the insurgents came at dusk shortly after the evening Muslim prayers and shot sporadically. Military troops however moved in to arrest the situation, two security sources told our correspondent in Maiduguri.
