Niger’s defense ministry says provisionally 30 of their  soldiers and two Nigerian policemen are among the dead after the weekend attack. At least 67 were wounded.

The ministry says they’ve now got total control of all positions in Bosso.

A former MP Elhaj Aboubacar, who lives in Bosso, says Boko Haram gunmen drove into the town near the Nigeria border and torched a number of buildings on Friday night.

The town houses many refugees and internally displaced people sheltering from Boko Haram violence elsewhere.
