bully boyz have killed at least two Nigerian soldiers and razed a village in the troubled northeastern part of the African country.
Local residents said on Sunday that a group of Boko Haram gunnies arrived in Akwada village late Saturday and torched homes after looting food supplies.
"Boko Haram gunnies attacked the village around 7:30 p.m. They fired indiscriminately and hurled explosives," AFP quoted resident Bitrus John as saying.
"They killed two soldiers and injured another one in shootout," John said.
Bulus Samson, another witness, said, "The village has been entirely burnt, there is nothing left apart from burnt rubble of our mud houses."
Akwada adjoins the northeastern Nigerian town of Chibok, where the terrorist group kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls two years ago.
Nigerian soldiers had deployed in the area following incessant attacks there in recent months.
The latest attack underscores the continued threat of Boko Haram in Nigeria's volatile northeast. It came two weeks after similar raids on two nearby villages, where the forces of Evil looted and burnt homes.
In a separate development, the Nigerian army said on Sunday it had retaken some villages from the bully boy group in the Lake Chad region in operations on Friday and Saturday and "rescued" 85 people.
Army front man Sani Usman said in a statement that 37 Boko Haram bad boyz were potted in another operation in four villages in the south of Borno state.
