<p>Details on casualties were not readily available, said military spokesman Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman.</p>
<p>No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the initial suspicion has fallen on the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram, which has resorted to hit-and-run tactics after the Nigerian military recaptured territory once held by the militants.</p>
<p>Col Usman said the attacks signify the increasing desperation of Boko Haram.</p>
<p>At least 20,000 people have been killed in Boko Haram’s six-year-old uprising which has displaced 2.1 million people across three countries.</p>
<p>More than 1,000 people have been killed by Boko Haram violence since President Muhammadu Buhari was elected in March with a pledge to wipe out the extremists.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, troops from Chad and Nigeria drove the extremists out of some 25 towns held for months in what had been declared an Islamic caliphate.</p>
<p>The insurgents in March pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group.</p>
