Suspected Boko Haram militants have seized a military base in northeastern Nigeria following a series of deadly raids in the area this weekend.
Gunmen fought the army for several hours before taking control of the military base outside the town of Baga, near Lake Chad, on Saturday.
Civilians were forced to flee across the border to Chad after groups of militants carried out several raids, killing several people, burning hundreds of homes and looted businesses, witnesses said.
