Boko Haram militants this morning attacked a military formation in Dadikowa town in Gombe state.
The sect members reportedly arrived the town at about 6am today in 36 Hilux buses and a dozen motorcycles and attacked soldiers at the security checkpoints of the town.
They then forced their way into the town and burnt the quarter guard of the 301 Artillery Regiment.
They bugled some shops and also burnt down public institutions including the police station in the town.
The Nigerian military has launched airstrikes on areas the sect members are currently attacking. The state government has imposed a 24hr curfew in the state.
