Five soldiers were maimed and were missing after the attack, a soldier said.
Soldiers fled the burning military base, 90 miles from the city of Maiduguri, a resident of Wajiriko told the Naij news agency. He added that gunnies arrived at the base in pickup trucks, and engaged in heavy gunfire before they burned the installation. The resident noted, though, that only soldiers and not villagers were attacked.
Mustapha Karimbe, a member of a local citizens' vigilante group which is aiding in the fight against Boko Haram, said the soldiers at the base moved to another base about 40 miles away.
"There were no reports of casualties from either side, but the base was completely burned by the Boko Haram terrorists, and the soldiers fled," Karimbe said.

Terror suspect jumped into cab of a beer lorry while its driver was making a delivery
Masked man sped through central Stockholm aiming at pedestrians before crashing into the Åhlens department store on Klarabergsgatan. At least four people died and 15 were injured
Witnesses heard shots fired and two suspects were filmed being detained in the street
A 39-year-old father-of-four was arrested in the northern suburb of Marsta
And there was a further arrest of a younger man at 11pm in nearby Hjulsta
This is the moment Swedish police snared a suspected Isis fanatic following a high-speed chase and tossed in the clink Please don't kill me! him in relation to the Stockholm truck attack that saw at least four people killed and 15 injured.
The 39-year-old father-of-four was arrested in the northern suburb of Marsta after going on the run following the attack, reported Swedish newspaper Aftonblat. The man, believed to be from Uzbekistan, was wearing a balaclava, with broken glass on his clothes. He reportedly confessed to being involved in the atrocity. He had posted Isis propaganda on Facebook and liked pictures of casualties after the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon in 2013, Aftonblat reported.
Police suspect he was behind the wheel of the truck, although other security sources reported in Swedish media said the driver is still on the lam.
Two men were tackled to the ground at the scene and arrested. Police questioned them but said they were not suspected of any crime.
A further arrest was made at 11pm last night in the Stockholm suburb of Hjulsta, according to Swedish newspaper Expressen. Pictures show the second man, who looked younger, being handcuffed and taken away in a police car. According to Swedish television, the two arrested men are linked.
During the attack, which happened around 3pm local time, a hijacked 30-tonne truck ploughed down pedestrians before crashing into a shopping centre and bursting into flames.
Three men jumped out from inside the lorry and opened fire before trying to stab pedestrians, witnesses said.
Two men were tackled to the ground and arrested. Police questioned them but said they were not suspected of any crime.
Police released CCTV of the man who bravely ran away, who was wearing a green jacket, white shoes and a grey hoodie. Officers said the first suspect arrested on Friday evening in Marsta resembled the man in the appeal photos.
Following the lorry crash, armed turbans were seen running into Stockholm's Central railway station and opening fire. Two people were also said to have been stabbed.
Spendrups Brewery said the truck belonged to its company and was stolen. The vehicle's original driver, who has not been named, was hurt in the hijacking after trying to cling to the vehicle.
Stockholmers appeared to be following police advice to stay indoors and avoid crowded areas, with a number of normally-bustling city streets deserted.
Security was also beefed up across European cities in the wake of the attack. In Norway, one of the few European countries where police are not routinely armed, officials announced that officers in major urban areas would now carry firearms. In a tweet, Norwegian Police said officers in its largest cities and at Oslo’s airport would be carrying weapons until further notice. In Finland, police increased patrols in the capital Helsinki.

[IsraelTimes] Military also arrests brother of Paleostinian who killed Sgt. Elhai Teharlev in vehicular attack; impounds cars and seizes 'terror funds'.
Israeli troops on Friday raided the West Bank hometown of a Paleostinian assailant who plowed his car into two IDF soldiers a day earlier, killing one of them, the army said.
In Silwad, northeast of Ramallah, the military also impounded cars it said were stolen and seized some NIS 40,000 ($11,000) of "terror funds," the IDF said.
On Thursday morning, a Silwad resident, 21-year-old Malek Ahmad Mousa Hamed, drove his car into the soldiers at the nearby Ofra junction. Sgt. Elhai Teharlev, 20, was killed and another soldier was lightly maimed.
In the early morning raid on Friday, Hamed’s brother was tossed in the slammer Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! and the family’s home was measured -- the first step in preparing it for demolition.
On Thursday night, the army imposed a so-called "breathing closure" on the Paleostinian town, allowing residents in freely, but only letting them out after a security check, the army said.
Also on Thursday, the work permits for the entire family were frozen. On Friday, those permits were taken away, the IDF said.
The army’s Silwad operation was carried out in collaboration with the Shin Bet security service, Israel Police, and Border Police.
"This is part of the ’concept of expanded prevention’ for taking action against all the circles of support for the terrorist," the army said in a statement.
In an unrelated operation, the IDF arrested three other Paleostinians in the West Bank city of Nablus.
According to the military, one of them was a member of the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terrorist group, while the other two took part in "popular terrorism," a catch-all term typically referring to rock-throwing and violent protests against security forces.
Malak Hamed was arrested following the attack and taken for interrogation by the Shin Bet. He is part of the Hamed extended family, which is linked to Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",. Nine members of the family have committed terrorist crimes in the West Bank over the years.
[Asharq al-Aswat] The US State Department gave a "global terrorist" designation to Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", commander Abu Anas al-Ghandour considering him a direct threat to the US and its interest, in a statement for the Department.
Under a 2001 executive order that imposes sanctions on foreigners who have committed or posed a significant risk of committing terrorist attacks, the US and its citizens will generally not be allowed to conduct business with Ghandour ‐ also all assets he have in the US were frozen.
Ghandour leads a Gazoo brigade for Hamas, which the US considers a terrorist organization, according to the US State Department. He played a role in the kidnapping of Shalit at an Israeli border crossing, were two Israeli soldiers were killed and four were maimed.
A report prepared by the US House of Representative Committee on Homeland Security revealed that forces of Evil have increased their targeting of airports for the sake of spreading dismay in the US ‐ it added that up to 245 terrorist attacks took place in the US since September 2001 attacks and 36 others were discovered in 2016.
Senator Michael McColl, Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, stressed that efforts should be intensified to deprive these snuffies from their safe havens abroad and to face extremism strictly inside the US.

[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] At least 11 people killed Friday in a Russian Arclight airstrike on Idlib province hours after U.S. air strikes on regime air base in central Syria left 6 soldiers killed, activists said.
The provocative strike by Russia on Heesh town and neighboring villages in the southern countryside defied an international consensus says targeting civilians must be stopped.
The Syrian Observatory fro Human Rights said Arclight airstrikes may also have struck Khan Sheikhun town on Friday, where a chemical attack killed scores of people this week.
The US fired dozens of cruise missiles on Friday at an airfield from which it said the Khan Sheikhun chemical attack that killed at least 86 people was launched on Tuesday.
Washington blamed the gas attack on Syrian government forces. The Syrian regime strongly denies responsibility and says it does not use chemical weapons.

[An Nahar] At least three people were killed and ten others were maimed Friday after armed festivities erupted at the Paleostinian refugee camp of Ein el-Hellhole in the southern city of Sidon, media reports said.
"The casualty toll has risen to three dead and over 10 maimed," MTV said, adding that "gunshots have reached the Sidon-Zahrani highway and the sounds of shells are echoing across the city of Sidon."
The fighting erupted during a deployment by the Joint Paleostinian Security Force on the camp's al-Fawqani street, the National News Agency said.
It said the clash erupted with a hardline Islamist group led by the murderous Moslem Bilal Badr and that rocket-propelled grenades and machineguns were being used in the fighting.
Clashes intensified in the evening amid Lebanese and Paleostinian political contacts aimed at reaching a ceasefire, the agency reported.
It said several shells had reached areas outside the camp such as the Siroub area, the area near the Officers Club, and al-Hamshari.
The agency said the Joint Force was insisting on deploying in three locations it had specified amid continued opposition by Badr's group to the move.
Media reports meanwhile said a lot of families were fleeing the area of the festivities.
NNA said Sidon MP Bahia Hariri was conducting intensive contacts with the national and Islamist Paleostinian factions in a bid to reach a ceasefire.
Several similar festivities have erupted in Ein el-Hellhole in recent months, mainly pitting Islamist murderous Moslems from Badr's group and members of the secular Fatah Movement.

The airborne attack lasted barely 30 minutes as the SWAT team engaged in a firefight with a lone ISIS jeep in the area between Hamat al-Tabanyeh and al-Qasabi in western Deir Ezzor.
Subsequently, the American military helicopter returned to Kurdish-held areas in Hasakah province. US troops did not suffer any casualties, the source added.
Respect.

I wonder if this might be Al-Baghdadi? Under this POTUS, you don't have a lot of grandstanding about these missions. Delta Force is usually tight-lipped about what they do.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, a Syrian jihadist faction with close ties to al-Qaeda, announced on Thursday afternoon it had killed an Iranian brigadier general during heavy festivities in the northern countryside of Hama.
The unnamed commander was reportedly a close advisor of Qasem Soleimani, a famed Iranian Major General who was rumoured to have arrived in Hama last week.
In addition, two Iranian members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed on Wednesday, one of whom was identified as Heydar Jannati.
Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) media department posted a graphic picture of the commander.
Meanwhile, ...back at the Council of Boskone, Kinnison began his slow infiltration of the sewer system... the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) killed a Sudanese HTS Inghimasi commander, nicknamed Muhammad al-Taayshi, amid firefights in northern Hama on Wednesday.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Not long after the U.S. attacked the Shayrat Airbase in eastern Homs, the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) launched two separate attacks on the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) defenses in the Palmyra.
Beginning with al-Furqalas, the Islamic State attacked the Syrian Army’s checkpoints outside the village, resulting in a fierce battle that lasted for approximately two hours on Friday.
The Islamic State was hoping to capitalize on the absence of the Syrian Air Force in east Homs; however, the terrorist group’s offensive was eventually repelled by sunrise and Homs-Palmyra Road secured.
