At least two people were killed and eight injured in Buratai
in Borno state, resident Adamu Talba and the military source said, but Chief of
Army Staff, Tukur Baratai, was not present at the time of the attack in the
early hours.
According to Reuters, suspected
Boko Haram militants burned
down houses, including the family home of
Nigeria's new army chief, in a
village in the northeast of the country on Tuesday, a policeman, military
source and witnesses said.
Since his appointment last week, Mr. Buratai has talked
tough about crushing the deadly sect responsible for nearly 20,000 deaths since
2009.
