The four communities: Tashan Alade, Shafa, Azare, Sabon-Kasuwa and Debro, all in Southern Borno were invaded on Saturday by the insurgents.
The insurgents spent several hours perpetrating their dastardly act in the four communities, attacking schools, shops and places of worship, and setting them ablaze.
Three persons were discovered to have been killed in Shafa, two of which were local hunters and a civilian.
Thousands of bags of farm products, recently harvested by farmers, were alleged to have been looted by the insurgents who also emptied shops and market stalls.
