Command Operation Lafiya Dole, Colonel Clement Nwachukwu, confirmed the attack when contacted by Channels Television via a phone call.
Nwachukwu says troops have since been mobilised to the area.
“We are doing all we can to provide adequate security through our continuing operations but we urge the public to be more security conscious and know who their neighbours are,” Nwachukwu stated.
The attack occurred three days after Boko Haram ambushed oil workers and staff of the University of Maiduguri, abducting some of them and killing several others.
About 30 civilians and more than 10 soldiers were reportedly killed in the ambush.
On Friday, a video of three people who identified themselves as employees of the University of Maiduguri and said they were part of those abducted in the ambush was released by Boko Haram.
