This new information was confirmed by a civil defense spokesman and a human rights advocate, Abbas Gava and he revealed the town is located just 85 kilometers (53 miles) from Maiduguri.
Mr. Gava also said that in another town named Askira Uba and nine other towns, citizens are fleeing after they got letters of an imminent attack by the terrorist group.
Survivors revealed that the terrorist came into the town with fired rocket-propelled grenades and lobbed homemade bombs into homes, and then gunned them down as they tried to run for their dear lives.
The lucky survivors narrated that almost all of the town is now ashes and they are just trying to bury the dead.
The town had been bombarded by Boko Haram for the past two weeks after they dislodged soldiers from a new tank battalion camp on its outskirts.
The Defence HQ had earlier reported that they came out victorious with minimal loss but residents denied the claimed that it was a lie and that the soldiers had run away and left their base.
The residents said that twice now, the boko haram boys had ambushed military convoys trying to get back the base and had cut off the town from the south on Monday when they blew up a bridge further south.
