Boko Haram attacks Dille, about 25 people killed.

Boko Haram insurgents raided three communities, killing about 25 people on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning.

According to Reuters, fighters in pick-up trucks attacked the town of Dille and two smaller communities in the Askira/Uba area in Borno state.

Vigilantes however resisted the attack on Dille that came around 1 p.m. local time, sources said. The attacks on the smaller nearby communities came early on Tuesday.

Boko Haram insurgents are believed to have dispersed into pockets across Borno state, notably along the Niger border near Damasak, Lake Chad, the Sambisa forest reserve and around the Mandara mountain range that borders Cameroon.
