location: Ngala
notes: Suspected Islamist extremists dressed as soldiers opened fire on residents of a Fulani town in the northeast after luring them out of their homes, killing four civilians and two police officers. The attack appeared to be in reprisal for the recent arrests of Boko Haram members. The attack occurred in the town of Gamboru Ngala near the border with Cameroon. It is not clear if the intended target of the attackers was the police or civilians.
