As Nigerians pray for an ending to the menace, Boko Haram terrorists struck again on Sunday night in Kawuri village, Konduga LG, Borno state, leaving tails of woe.
They set fire to three patrol vehicles of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and three military armored tanks.
Residents fled to the bush as the military confronted the attackers.
The troops pushed back the terrorists, and no casualties were reported during the fight.
However, the attackers planted explosives on the Konduga-Kawuri road to block reinforcements.
On Tuesday morning, while navigating the route, CJTF member Abba Godori accidentally triggered one of the devices and lost his life.
Efforts to reach the police for confirmation were unsuccessful, but a retired community member confirmed the renewed attacks in the area.
