Reuters quoted eyewitnesses and soldiers who survived the attack as saying that “the assault occurred on Friday when Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) militants arrived in trucks equipped with rifles and attacked the 149th Battalion in the town of Malam-Fatori, a gateway to the Niger border.”
Residents who fled Malam-Fatori reported seeing some militants in the town until Saturday night. A member of the local armed faction formed to assist the army mentioned that “the militants set several buildings on fire, forcing some residents to flee the town.”
The Nigerian army announced on Friday that 79 militants and suspected kidnappers were killed in operations conducted by its forces over the past week in various parts of northeastern Nigeria.
