ISWAP insurgents have staged an attack in the garrison town of Dikwa in central Borno, Northeast Nigeria.
Islamic State West Africa (ISWAP) insurgents are currently attacking Dikwa town about 90 km east of Maiduguri, Borno State capital, Northeast Nigeria.

The security situation in the garrison town is fluid and developing.
This is at least the fourth attack by ISWAP targeting Dikwa town sncd January 2021.
