"DEADLIEST"The death toll made it the "deadliest" by Boko Haram on Rann, she added. On January 14, fighters loyal to the Boko Haram faction led by Abubakar Shekau attacked a military position. AFP has been told the remaining Nigerian soldiers also withdrew because there were not enough of them to fight off Boko Haram if they came in greater numbers. On Wednesday, the Norwegian Refugee Council called on Cameroon to keep open its borders to those fleeing Boko Haram attacks.
