A security source told the news platform that they struck in the on Tuesday afternoon.
“They got into the village around 12:15pm and the first place they attacked was Zowo ward at Faduma Koloram.
“They accused the people there of spying on them and vowed to teach them lessons. Virtually all the houses in the community were touched,” the source said.
The source also said when some people who managed to escape returned to the village hours later, they met their houses destroyed.
The attack on Faduma Koloram was the second known attack on a community within Borno in 24 hours.
The sect had earlier hit people living in Malam Karamti village and Daban Shatta, still in Borno.
