Members of the dreaded sect, Boko Haram, are at present attacking Damagum, a town in Yobe State.
Damagum is located in Funne Local Government Area.
Sources in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, told The Eagle Online that residents of the town are fleeing into the bush for safety.
Some of those who succeeded in fleeing into the bush have been calling their relatives in other parts of the state, especially Damaturu, to inform the military of the attack and the need for prompt intervention.
The town was also attacked in 2012.
It came under attack at about 7pm on March 28, 2012.
Explosives were used on that occasion.
