These Michika attack is coming after group of Boko Haram connected to the Islamic State, killed 11 Christian captives in Borno on Christmas eve.

The insurgents had said that the action was taken to avenge the deaths of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, IS’ late leader and Abul-Hasan Al-Muhajir, its spokesman, who were killed in Syria in October last year.

Late last year, four abducted aid workers of an international non-government organisation, the Action Against Hunger, were killed by the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP).

The ISWAP insurgents said the aid workers were killed inline with the breakdown of talks with the federal government.

Seems Boko Haram has renewed attacks in the north-east despite the federal government claims that the insurgents have been defeated.
