Fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) on Saturday attacked a United Nations (UN) hub in Borno State.
The attack, which took place late on Saturday, is the second time the Jihadists would be attacking one of the UN’s nine hubs in Nigeria.
Sources say the assailants invaded Damasak community and set several facilities belonging to international organisations ablaze.
It was gathered that the UN hub was gutted after fire set on the nearby office of an international charity spread to the UN facility.
The offices of three other international NGOs were also burnt by the insurgents who took over the town.
In recent months, the terrorists have incessantly attacked Damasak including several failed attempts to overrun a military outpost outside the town.
