Suspected members of Boko Haram sect on Thursday attacked Kaya village in Madagali local government area of Adamawa State and killed five people.
The early morning attack came 48 hours after a similar assault on Pallam.
Three people were killed in that incident.
Soldiers and local hunters who went after the invaders shoot two of them dead, residents said.
A member of the House of Representatives from the area, Adamu Kamale, confirmed the attack.
He said: ‘’I got a distress call early morning (yesterday) that they (Boko Haram) struck again in Kaya village, killing at least five people and others injured.
‘’The recent attacks indicate the group is still able to carry out major attacks and has not been defeated despite the successes achieved by Nigerian soldiers in the war.
‘‘You know our communities are a stone’s throw from the boundary of Sambisa Forest, the insurgents’ safe haven from where they launched attacks on us.”
