The attack comes just days after Boko Haram terrorists carried out a similar attack on Makalama community, also near Chibok.
Chibok is the site of one of the group's most infamous exploits as 276 schoolgirls were kidnapped from Government Girls Secondary School in April 2014. 164 of the girls have returned but 112 remain unaccounted for.
Since Boko Haram's insurgency escalated in 2009, it has killed over 27,000 people and displaced millions in the northeast region, with its operations also extending to border countries like Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
